How much have you driven it since you put it back on the road? Sometimes when a head gasket blows, it dumps a lot of cooant into the exhaust system. I've fixed cars that steamed for more than an hour after I started them initially.
Once after finishing a badly blown head gasket on a Honda, I drove the car to the local do-it-yourself car wash to clean it up for the owner. The police pulled me over and wanted to cite me for being a gross polluter. I had to explain the cloud I was leaving behind me was STEAM, not smoke, from the coolant in the exhaust. I told them if they wanted to wait, the engine would stop steaming in a while.
The officer was not very car savvy, so I had to explain the problem about fourteen times. While I was explaining, I kept the car running and the problem solved itself.
