Is it white smoke? Or grey smoke?

Did you visually check to see if it was leaking when it gets to operating temp? Was it smoking prior? You sure you didn't spill anything on the engine and it's burning off?

Being that we are not there those are the only questions we can ask to assist you.

Where is the smoke coming from? exhaust or tail pipe?

If you see it coming from under the hood, lift it up and look....If you are driving, then pull over and look.
