glennhl,just checked my coolant level,and it's just fine!
I hope it's nothing serious!!
Also,I'm not a "car" expert,but does this sound like something the installer{Magnuson} should take care of?

Lets look at this problem as the glass being half full. 
If the car is used for short trips, there is a chance that it is water condensation in the exhaust just buring off.

My nephew had the same problem on his car and I thought he had over reved the engine and damaged the valve guide seals.It turned out to be bad O2 sensors which was allowing excessive amounts of fuel on start up. Good Luck!
