Default White smoke from the hood?

My sis has a 99 Sedan.
Ive never seen this but she says she sees white smoke sorta like a mist that comes from under the hood.
Only happened twice and her water temp is normal she says and she was not going fast or on the highway or long overdue driving or have the AC on.
What can this be??

check the radiator/ water fill up tank check if the cap's seal hasn't broken. it gets pretty hot and the water can start to boil.

White is usually coolant. Bluish tint would be oil. Start checking coolant clamps is what I recommend.
