Hope someone can help..After about 20 minutes in stop and go traffic I notice steam coming from my tail pipe the engine doesn't seem to be getting hot and after I'm on the open road it appears to go away. When I get to my destination I keep the engine running and check my exhaust and everyhing seems normal. I'm think it's a possible head gasket problem but I don't see any other signs..Some times I hear a water swishing noise coming from inside the truck like water is being pushed through the the heater core and when I check my radiator it appears to be low, but nothing is being pulled from my overflow bottle. If some has any good ideas please chime in.

The valve stem seals are what cause the white, bluish smoke to come out of the tailpipe when idling for 15-20 minutes and its common for those to go bad. As for the water swishing noise, I noticed that I hear that noise only when I'm low on coolant for some odd reason
