    Hey PPL Well I have alot of trouble with my gp gt and I'm planning to fix it little by little money is tight right now. I fix almost all the gaskets that were messed up now I have this problem which I only see it depending on the weather.
    Just today I was on my way home from work when I saw light smoke coming out either from the front hood or from the breaks. This had never happen to me it only happen today in a rainy weather when I was about to turn pot of water smoke came out and this time alot from the back exhaust all the way from the front and made a weird loud noise as I break. This happen to me twice today I need help does anybody knows? Could it be the Oxygen Sensor because I know thats the onlt check engine problem I have right now from Sensor 2 Bank 1. Really appreciate those who helps. Going to need help ASAP since is going to be rainy here in chicago for like 3 days thanks

    If you dodged the puddle instead of taking a hot car through, most likely you wouldn't see the steam disappating off the hot motor, hotter brakes and exhaust.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Yes Its steam. The funny sound it makes when u brake is your brakes. They are shot get them replaced. Why steam well as they said hot engine and your brake rotors are prolly screaming hot from metal on metal contact. When your brake pads run out of friction material the metal plate under that rubs your rotors. If u see grooves in your rotors have them "turned" the same time you replace your pads.
