My car smokes when it warms up and then after a few minutes there is no smoke at all...even while driving.

I've had pressure in my cooling system when the car had sat for almost two weeks. I took off the rad cap just for the hell of it and it sprayed a little coolant out. Well I put the cap back on and thought nothing of it. A few days later I came out and it was pressurized again, but the car had never been started or even touched. How the hell could the system become pressurized just sitting there for a few days?

I know it doesn't get nearly as cold as IL...oi, that's one thing I miss about Washington, but...anyway...you start it up in the morning?...or at night? ...I'm sure it's fairly cold around then..cold enough to make it smoke.
