white smoke while warming up.

Hi I'm pretty new on the board, considering ive just recently purchased my FC. So this morning I turn on the car to warm up and ive noticed a bunch of white smoke smelling like fuel was coming out. To my understanding white smoke usually mean coolant, but I do not believe that I have a coolant leak. And also I was told coolant smells "sweet." So I jumped to the conclusion that it was water evaporating? The night before, it was raining. And the car was all wet when I was warming it up. After warmup, and during drive the smoke went away. So can someone please clarify this up for me. Thanks!

yeah most of the time the (light) white smoke on warmup is water evaporating.
