Hi,
Are you sure it isn't residual coolant burning off? Also, does it have a sweet smell like coolant, or do you feel it is something other? With the hood open, where approximately does the white smoke come from?
Let me know.

In the video attached usually the smoke comes right from there where the oil cap is but underneath.

Hi,
The exhaust manifold is there, so anything laying on it will smoke. How often does it do it? Also, is there any way you could describe the odor it makes? If it is white smoke, it is likely coolant. Check around where the intake meets the engine block. Make sure it isn't leaking.
Let me know.
