Default Small amount of smoke after standing for months

Hi guys,

My 98 imreza has been sat for a few months and when I started her up today in preparation for the MOT i noticed a small amount of white smoke coming from under the carbon canister area under the bonnet.

It never smoked before i put it into my garage for a few months, and now all of a sudden it started.

Im thinking perhaps some oil has dropped onto something and as its warming up is just burning off? Or could I have a bigger problem on my hands?

White smoke is usually water mate, perhaps a little condensation from being stood

Has it now stopped??

Yeah could be condensation I supose. It did it for around 20 seconds before I just turned her off again and put her back in the garage. Im going back to change an ABS sensor tomorrow so I will have another look, but I couldnt pin point where it was coming from from above the car so il get underneath tomorrow and have a look from there.
