Usually this is steam caused by boiling your coolant. Depending on where its coming from this can mean 2 different things.
Is it coming from your engine compartment? If so then your coolant boiled over or you blew a radiator hose.
Is it coming from the exhaust? If so then you most likely have a blown head gasket or cracked head, so your coolant is leaking into the cylinder and its getting burned/boiled there.
Hope this helps.
