UPDATE:

Tonight I noticed that there was a noticably loud "HISSING" sound coming from the passenger side of the engine, centered vertically...it's hard to pin-point EXACTLY where it's coming from because it's hard to see everything...

I'm a little worried because after the engine started to heat-up, mostly by me keeping the throttle opened, smoke started to come from the same area that the "HISSING" was coming from...the smoke KIND OF smelt like burning coolant though...but she hasn't now or ever lost any coolant or had coolant problems...so I think that's just what it smells like, but probably isn't...

Below is a picture of where the HISSING and smoke is coming from...



Is there any vacuum hoses or such in this area that are hidden that I should be aware of??

THANKS GUYS!:)
