stykthyn I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall. 15 Year Member Jul 6, 2006 5,232 2,652 223 gainesville Mar 8, 2016 #2 Mar 8, 2016 #2 Most likely is oil from the freshly assembled parts. If it was steam you would have a white smoke show and the engine wouldn't hold a good idle.

Let it come right up to operating temp and see what it's like. If it's antifreeze, you should be able to smell it. It's got almost a sweet maple scent.
