    If the top radiator hose is rock hard with cap on and its pushing out the overflow youve got substantial combustion in the water jacket. Headgasket, cracked liner, liner orings, liner shim, or cracked head are the usual culprits.

    Little vapor wouldnt worry me too much yet. Is it blowing lots more than usual out the oil filler?
