RE: Steam
Did the washer fall off your glow plug the last time you had it out? Might need a new one,or you may of had some dirt under it. Sounds like you may of had a little nitro leaking by the plug from the motor's compression,and it was still boiling off when you seen it.

RE: Steam
that was it.
now, as to not start another thread
when i run my truck through tall grass (higher than the truck) and other various things that puts a heavy load in the engine. it sounds like the engine is about to die. some times it does, some time it doesnt. am i running too rich or lean?
