My 97 Toyota 4 runner will produce white steam when it is started cold, it will stop after driving for a short distance (15min) it seems somewhat excissve for just condensation and does not smell sweet like antifreeze. Could it have anything to do with my catailc convertor or muffler?

Pull the oil dipstick and smell for gas-if so injector/s or the fuel pressure regulator is leaking also be concerned of the earlier suggestion-
