^^ As he says, the pipe in the pic is the exhaust from the FBH, it switches itself on when the temp is low and the engine is running, can give out quite a lot of smoke/steam at times Thumbs Up

The coolant tank under the cap shouldn’t have a lot in it.

The front top part should have orange or pink to the top (showing on the outside)
