Car Steaming!!!

k guys i just put on my invidia O2 on and i turned on the car. started up fine but after a couple of seconds the car started steaming. it doesn't seem like its coming from anywhere in particluar. My thought is thats its the PB blaster steaming up or perhaps the anti-seize but im not sure. I left the car running for a couple minutes and the steam didn't stop and it continued to emit the vapor after i shut it off. Any ideas as far as what it may be or what i should do????

I would imagine it's the same as putting on a new exhaust, it smokes a bit at first, but will go away soon enough.

yea i thought so too but like i said its steaming up from under the hood seems like its from the exhaust manifold or a little underneath maybe where the mai and hot side meet up. i re-checked the torque and its fine. the vapor has this smell to it unlike exhaust vapor though.
