Default Smoke from my car

Today when i was driving i saw smoke but the gauge showed that it wasnt overheating so i parked it. When i opened my door i saw white smoke coming out of the hood but it wasnt a lot. The smoked looked like steam or something like that. so i looked under the hood to see where it was coming and it seem like the middle or behind the engine.

the things that might be why i think
1. is that i have a Power steering hose leak. So i thinking the fluid is dropping onto something hot. making it steam
2. I was changing my distributor rotor and broke the screw and super glued it. but it wroking. Idk if its that.
3. I look behind the engine and one of my spark wire wasn't in all the way. and i see power steering fuild on top of it so and im not sure if dropped into the hole. Goin clean it today.
4. its just Cold outside idk.

Got a Honda accord 97 Lx V6

Thank you for the tips if yall help me

If you have a decent sense of smell, you should be able to tell. If its sweet smelling its coolant. If it smells like oil/atf then it is.

If it's sweet smelling I would look over the whole radiator for small leak.
