Welcome aboard.

A little more information needed.

Where is the steam coming from?

What year? Brand? I/O or inboard

What was the operating temperature of your port engine?

Half system or full system?

Fresh water or salt (assuming salt)

When was the last time your manifolds and risers were inspected?

Yes, welcome . . .

Also what did you have for lunch and what color shirt were you wearing when this all happened? :D

I assume you are looking for some advice on corrective action. The additional info that Scott outlined will be most helpful. I got 2 of those 454 thingys with closed cooling . . . no steam though.
