I was sitting in the car today awaiting the return of the wife. when I noticed some whit smoke coming from (what looked like the back left top side) of my T5 turbo motor. could not pinpoint where it was coming from since it was a little windy.

any help would be great.
thanks in advance for your time.

    I am trying to visualize sitting in a car, in a parking lot, with the hood down, and noticing something wrong. I open the hood and there is white smoke coming from the driver's side of the engine. But it is windy and the wind is coming from the passenger side.
    So, it could be coming from the passenger side, or anywhere else. Could you go home and park in a non windy location and recreate the situation? Also check the coolant level in the bottle. It could be coming from the heater hose where it goes through the firewall.
