First of all...sorry guys...my English is not so good...I just moved to US 2 years ago. Ok...

I'll be quick.

1. Sometimes, not all the time, when I use the ventilation system, not the AC, and I wait at the light or use a little bit more the brakes...there is smoke/steam coming out from under my hood...driver's side. It smells like chemicals, I can't tell what can be...maybe coolant agent. I checked all the levels and everything is normal. I've been having this for 4-5 months. I'll put a couple of pictures with a certain hose that is wet-dirty...

2. Another problem is...sometimes I feel like a step when I press the brake pedal...especially after I just turn the wheels...

How can I post some pictures in here?

Thank you.

In order to post pics, the best way is to create a photobucket account and to link to this post.

you're hoses are old, you need new ones immediately.

For the brakes, check your brake fluid

Looks like maybe a valve cover is leaking.Do you have a small oil puddle wherever you park ?

No...and all the levels are normal.Maybe, like naladude911 said, I have to change some hoses...I'll start with the one in the pictures...can anyone tell me what is that hose good for? You have the ends of the hose in pictures 1 & 3. The rear end is somewhere in back of the engine (with that cover improvisation).
