Right started a different thread for this in hope of finding some answers, so the auto box is gone, now when i start, ive got water dripping from the exhaust pipes and steam possibly smoke from the rear of the engine bay. What could be causing this then????

The more efficient a motor runs, the more steam it produces. However, if there is excessive steam or it does not disappear when the motor is hot, you may have another problem. I'll check your first post.

Steam dissapates where as smoke lingers. What do you have?
