My engine bay is changing color from BRG to a bright rusty orange!  She
runs hot and I still can't tell where she's steaming from exactly.  Looks
like it might be around the neck area.  Is there supposed to be smoke
coming from the crankcase through the oil filler tube after a short spin
around town?  Or is that just because she's running hot?  Temp gauge says
190 most of the time, but in stop & go traffic it jumps to 210-220 then
every now and then pegs at 230 and starts bleeding all over the street.
Any suggestions on where to start?
