I went to replace cabin filter in a 2003 ford escape (bought escape new) there was no filter in the place filter was suppose to be.

Steam coming from the windshield wiper cleaner reservoir while the engine is running could indicate that the fluid is overheating, possibly due to a malfunction or a blockage in the system. If the engine is running hot, it can create excess heat in nearby components, affecting the reservoir. Additionally, a faulty cap or seal might not be holding pressure properly, allowing steam to escape. It's advisable to check the fluid level and inspect the reservoir and cap for any damage or leaks.
