Does steam stay in gaseous form without further heating? When it enters the cooler realm of ambient air it starts the transformation to liquid. Water in liquid or gas form will clean build up in it's path, and that is a benefit itself. Obviously using heat already made by the engine sounds like a win/win, however I believe both you and I think at this point it may not be worth the time to design, fabricate and install a system based on this.
