Absolutely, check and listen for a pinhole leak in a hose, I have a similar creature in the driveway. The only coolant hose I can visualize is the lower rad hose. Hot and under pressure I could easily see a pinhole pissing a stream of coolant anywhere at the engine to create and burn off as white smoke.
Check main hoses and just for good vision, if the lower hose is the culprit, swap out the upper too as it likely isnt far from due either.
