check your oil level, did you change the oil and filter after all the coolant went into the engine?

steam coming from a 14xe exhaust is expected mines done it from day one and its all ok engine wise

Was the head skimmed, is it over-heating?

Probably just moisture that has built up in the baffles.. Flush the oil then take it for a run.
