Default White smoke after 2 months of storage

So, after storing the car for 2 months, I've finally decided to bring the car back on the road. I was trying to remove the header, but then I busted the 1st bolt =_=. That being said, I dont' have the proper tool to drill the bolt out of the header, I was trying to drive the car to my mechenic's shop so he could help me. However, when I start up the car, there are white smoke comming out of the engine bay... I was just wondering anyone have any idea? I am thinking it could be the moisture from the car sitting in the garage for so long and that one of the bolt that connecte the header to the engine was busted by me... so there's the exhaust leak...?

any thoughts?

btw, the car wasn't smoking at all before the storage.

Did you use wd40 or any loosing spray on the header bolts before? Cause if so...they create white smoke till they burn off...
