GA Smoke /steamProblem

ok i bought my FB knowing that it wasnt running, but one day i tried to turn it on and it did! however steam was coming out of the muffler, as far as i know that means the water jackets/seals (something like that) are ruined.... could that be something else, or is that it?

Was it coming out right off the bat? A little after it started or did it start when the engine was getting up to normal temp?
