that usually means that the headgasket is bad. get it up to temo at fast idle.(put a stick under the throttle screw) and let it run for a half hour or so. if the cloud does not go away then it is headgasket. the exhaust system gets a lot of condensation so the system has to get good and hot first to dry it out. if it is still steaming then shut it down and pull the air hose to the throttle body. verify that the tb is not corroded and letting liquid in. leave the cap on the expansion tank to make sure that pressure is there for this test. highly likely it is the head gasket.
