Default smoke?

Alright well i posted i have a leak somewhere...

now after the cars ran...I get alil smoke coming threw my ram air hood. Its really faint. And doesnt last long. But the smell of like warm antifreeze is still there. Now i looked in the engine i i notice the bottom part of it is wet. But theres no noticable leaks. Im hoping that the smoke is just coolant dripping on the block and heating up??? Anyways this prob is getting annoying and i wanta get it fixed asap.

Does the car leave a spot of coolant on the ground after sitting for a bit? What do you notice to be wet, the bottom of the engine or hood?

Could you tell where it was coming from? I noticed a small coolant leak under my car one day, and turned out to be the water pump. The way you explained it im wondering if maybe you have a crack on the radiator.
