Yea, if it is excessive then I suspect coolent in to camber. However you may so no signs (as of yet) except the steam coming out.

What happens is:

It sucks coolent on the doward stroke then it "burns" it.

To make sure I'am right. Pull the plugs one at a time. The cleanest plug will probably be near the leak. That plug will have less carbon and may be wet. You can pressure check that cylinder.

As for for the leak:

It could be a small crack between the valves & drawing coolent from there. Or something easy like a broken head gasket. You just don't know tell ya pull it apart (top end).

If it is a coolent<>cylinder leak it maybe a cheep easy fix (head gasket) or not so easy (cracked head).

Let us know.
