White/Grey smoke under the hood...!!!

[TARG]

I just drove about 60-70mph for 10min. and ran about 40min. non stop then when I parked my car first I saw a smoke (white/grey) coming out of my car hood. So I poped the hood and shock that the smoke are coming form from no where but just around the injection, intake manifold(where the air intake tube attached to). I try to find it under of my car but its seemed no evidence. I smell like something burn but not much just a little bit. Any body have a probelm like this before or could you give me some suggestion????.

I think this tuesday I will bring my car to mitsu dealer and check everything. I just bought this car about 2 months (preowned). What do you think between the Dealer and out garage....

Now I have to stop ordering the short ram intake but should spend some money diagnosetice my car first.... shoot...!!!!

Now considering my last grammar training was failing 9th grade english I can't be too much of a perfectionist but I do have to say that proper sentence structure makes a world of difference when trying to finger out what you are talking about.

What on earth does this mean?

What was the smell like? Sweet and unusual like anti freeze, like oil, like rubber burning, maybe braincells frying

my guess is a heater hose has split, spilling coolant all over hot engine and exhuast components...

you have a point there, it could even be a small pinhole that only leaks a little under pressure.
Before you pay mitsubishi $80 to look at it find a nice mechanic with a coolant system pressure testor and pump it up. Look for any small leaks, and or old damaged hoses.

Or you could just run the car in your driveway until it heats up and pressurizes the system and look for leaks. You will see the smoke and probably the leak. Good luck.
