Smoke from the hood when it rains

[MisfitIISociety]

Ok so the car doesn't smoke when it's not raining but when it rains I notice a little amount of smoke coming from the hood. When I pop the hood, there isn't any smoke coming from the engine or anything. Is this an issue with other CB7s? Is it something I should worry about or is it typically normal?

Thanks in advance and I have searched but couldn't find anything.

P.S. - it's a stock hood.

i have the same thing. nothing is really smoking. hood heats up from the engine then rain gets on it and it creates like steam. nothing is wrong so dont worry about it

Yea that used to happen to me. The engine would just be a lil bit to warm and cause the hood to heat up and steam away water.
As long as the Temp guage isnt reading high or overheating its nothing to be worried about.

My Prelude used to do that but not anymore. Never noticed the Accord doing that though.
