If the coolant level dropped, that's probably it. How much did you need to add?

If you weren't in Texas I'd ask if it was just visible steam from cold weather.

most likely just a little italian tune up carbon smoke. nothing to worry about if you're not burning fluids.

I agree with wudini that it's probably nothing. Watch your coolant and ask friends to watch for smoke while cruising around.
