Dunno which engine you have (add it to your profile, saves asking each time you have a Q  :y ) but common for steam to be seen from V6's when cold and on a cold day.  Its condensate from the combustion process and perfectly normal.  But keep an eye on the coolant level if you are really really concerned.....

Its also why you see water dripping from the exhaust of some cars.....   :y
