IS this bad??? does this on startup

but it goes away once it warms up??

Its not blue, and it drinks more radiator fluid than I drink vodka!

but once it warms up like I said.. gone.. bhatch to start once it is warm (I do have a switch installed)

do you think it is a warped housing? The cooling system was poorly taken care of, you would laugh if I showed you a pic of the cooling system.

PS..
this pic was when I got it home before I noticed the bad cooling system

well I dont know what strong is, I have not had a chance to drive one that is good. It has about 2PSI boost floored and in a vaccume at an idle.
