There is white smoke coming from under the hood near the engine?

Question

So the second I start my car it starts to blow some white smoke from right behind the engine next to the power steering fluid, any ideas about what it could be? Vehicle: 2000 dodge stratus se, 205,000 miles, 2.4 l4 engine (My car does need a radiator flush badly and is in need of a oil change)

Answer

White smoke is water vapor. Gray smoke is burned oil. Black smoke is unburned gasoline. Check your oil for yellow or green appearance, or bubbles. All three indicate water leaking into the oil.
