Yes - also knowing the year and model of the car may be a tremendous help as well. I am not saying this to be rude or mean, but I do not know why people do not list this (model and year of car) when they ask a question like this, or at least put what model/year of car it is in their profiles. Cars are different. Steam from one area of one car, may mean something totally different on another.
Hopefully it is not a major issue, like a head gasket?
