Have a 1989 F150 steam coming from side of throtle body 302 Any ideas why? PPS

 

First guess would be head gasket.

 

The coolant lines that go into the throttle body are probably leaking. Common problem. Many just bypass them but if you live in a colder climate it might not be a good idea.

 

Sorry about that reply. Sean is right I forgot about those lines. It most likely has the original clamp on it and it has loosened up. I made that reply as my world got a good tip over. Forget I even mentioned the head gasket, DOH!!!!!

 

It's not an unreasonable guess, but let's not scare him just yet.

 

Would not have been if I had taken the time to realize that the throttle body is not like it is in my Aurora. There is a degree of separation lol.
