I recently went on a small trip out to a off road trail and it was a 30 mile trip out on a small highway, I kept the RPM down below 3000 and around 50 mph.
On the trail after two uphill trudges, I stopped to take a look at a nice view and came back with a moderate amount of white smoke that did not smell very good coming from the radiator area. I lifted the hood to take a look and it appeared to be coming from the bottom left of the radiator (left side of the vehicle).
The smoke persisted for 10 more minutes after I continued up the trail then the smoke went away and never appeared again the whole way home.
Don't see what the problem is as it is not reoccurring and does not persist while driving.
The vehicle has been serviced and all fluids were replaced recently (about 80 miles ago).
The temperature gauge was steady the entire trip, staying around 180 degrees F.
I have a video, but I do not have a sharing service besides google drive, so for you with drive, here's a link:
