I'm having some smoke or steam issues with my focus...and since i'm not mechanically adept at all, this seems like a good place to start before i start using terms like "thing-a-ma-bobber" with the mechanic.

i have the 2.0L zetec-e (pic at the top of the site) and i'm having what i assume is steam, coming out of the engine. when looking at the pic on the site, the silver piece that is towards the front cent of the car (has the "X" on it) is what is steaming/smoking from its bottom (assuming you are looking at the top in the pic). the overheat gauge isn't reading that the engine is overheating, so i have no idea what may be possibly going on.
1) I have no idea what that silver piece is called, or what it does.
2)any ideas why this could be happening? i'm totally stumped as to why.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
