Default First drive of the season and white smoke from Turbo area?

Quick question. (It bothers me that after all these years I post dumb questions) so I did a full detail of the car this week and decided to take her out for the first time. I noticed at a light a little bit of white smoke coming from the hood. I pulled over and popped the hood and it looks like white smoke coming from underneath/around the turbo. Nothing changed over the winter as far as oil lines etc. It had a weird smell, not oil and certainly not coolant. Anyway after about 20 minutes the smoke went away.

is it possible when I used the quick detailer underneath the hood (I did spray it all over) that it was that burning off? It seems plausible but took a while to burn off. I did spray it pretty liberally all over but thought it took a little to long to burn off

Plausible?

If its a funky smell you've never smelt before its possible its quick detailer . Check all fluids and drive her. Did it completely stop smoking?
