it happened to me too... Stopped after a few seconds. Looked more like a mist rather then smoke. I remember it was super hot that day so I thought that might have something to do with it

Common when you have a good AC system.
You have humid air mixing with AC air with lower humidity, which makes it foggy. It only lasts a few seconds before the humidity normalizes. Nothing to be worried about.

Please don't freak him out. There's not a leak. It's normal. If there was a leak you'd know it - it'd be violent and wouldn't last very long. AC systems are under a TON of pressure.
Don't worry about it.

It doesn't happen often, but I've experienced the mist too, although not enough to cause the windows to fog. No issues with the a/c at all, still blows cold. I think it's normal.
