I looked at the reservoir and it looked low so i filled it up and started the car. After it was running for about 10 mins I saw a little water leaking from the exhaust and a tiny bit of smoke.Also i felt the lower hose and coolant in the reservoir, it was not warm at all but the top hose was hot. Any ideas?
