Iv just been driving back to work, and when i pulled up i noticed steam coming up through the vents, not massive amounts, so iv checked it out and theres a bit of water at the side of the header tank, and a sizzling noise coming from down at the bottom of the engine directly under the header tank.....my car is a 95 wrx import, does anyone no what this could be or if they no it wil be safe to drive the 2 miles home??

 

header tank cracked probably..

if water temp is normal and you keep an eye on it 2miles home should be fine.. I am assuming the steam is not so bad that you cannot see where you are going?

no its just alittle bit of steam, but i dont want to do any damage to the engine, i hoping it is a cracked header tank

 

monitor the water temp and if it has now cooled down then top the water up before you leave.

2miles should be fine.. just keep revs as low as possible.
