today it is raining ridiculously hard and there are deep puddles everywhere (1-3 inches)

i get home and in the garage i notice that steam or smoke is coming from the two front wheel wells....no smell or anything just whisps of white stuff

i popped the hood, and saw that nothing was steaming, but that my cai had condensation on it and had some water on the filter...the usual engine smell was there, nothing funny...

im tripping out right now! what the hell was steaming/smoking...i think it may be brakes, but the rotors were not that hot....

please help

 

ever come home on a hot summer day and wash your car and spray the wheels with water...you get steam

 

yea, no concerns, it's just your brakes rotor's steaming cuz of the water.

 

You touched the brakes? And the water probably cooled it down a lot.

 

ever go outside after a nice downpour on a hot day? Steam rises from the ground. Go to a lake after it was hot and got really cold suddenly, the lake will be steaming also.

 

roaters get hot fast, steam follows

 

thought so, but i touched the rotors and didnt feel heat.......thanks guys no more fear of fawked

thanks

 

does not need to be "boiling" to steam.

that's why we have fog.

 

You'll be fine! Happened to me a few times.

 

Yeah its just steam.

However what the hell is rain??
