Default a lil bit of smoke coming out from the oil dipstick and oil cap

I just bought a new 2011 honda civic ex sedan couple of days ago when i noticed that there was a lil bit of smoke coming out from oil dipstick and oil cap. Is this something i should worry about. My civic has only 90 miles in it.

I'm assuming you're only getting a few wafts of steam/smoke when you remove the cap or dip stick. This is normal.

It doesn't matter what car you have, if you have been driving the car to the point were the block is warm and ur temp Gage is normal, you will have a "smoke" when you check the oil! But it's okay cause it's 100% normal
