Sounds like your car is overheating, or at least there is a small leak in the cooling system

somewhere.

Job one, would be to be to look under the hood while the steam is present to determine it's source. I'd suspect a hole in a radiator hose or in the radiator itself. It could be a leak in the reservoir too. Is the cap on it nice and tight and sealing OK?
