    Steam from Front After/During Rain

    I posted this in chatter box earlier but didn't get any validation. I'm almost 100% sure there is nothing wrong, but I figured I would ask.

    I went to the grocery store today while it was raining, and when pulling back into the garage, I noticed that there was what appeared to be smoke coming out the front. Obviously I hit freak out stage rather quickly, but after assessing it more, it seems it was only steam. The "smoke" was odorless and looked like it was not fully atomized, but it was coming out at a pretty alarming rate.

    I've searched the forums but could not find a similar thread/topic. I imagine this is just the rain evaporating off of the radiator, oil cooler, etc.. Can anyone validate if they experience this as well?

    My thoughts too, but interestingly, it is coming from the grille by the driver's assist sensor.
