The car runs and start with no problem. No hesitation or hick ups. Only above problem is my issue above. Any ideas?

Well at least part of it sounds like OSV.:confused

Well if the fan sounds like a jet airplane then it sounds like you need a new fan clutch and you should get one immediately. You really don't want your fan blowing up on you or you will have a lot more problems then you currently have.

You may also want to check your battery and alternator. It would seem to me that some of your problems may be related to low voltage.

Is it possible that you could post a video of the car so that we can hear the sounds it is making?

I'm not sure what oil. Just got the car. Now there is steam coming out of the OSV and white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Thinking of getting it towed.

What is the history of the car? Anything the previous owner has told you? If the car overheated before, you may be looking at some serious repairs.

Sounds just fine to me, change the OSV ( use the 10 min swap in the DIY section) then unplug the MAF start the car and drive it to see if that fixes the problems.

Have any codes?

The codes are just misfires and some auxiliary malfunction but these codes are pulled from a regular OBD II scanner since most shops are closed on Sunday.
