Checked the oil today and noticed it was a bit low, so I opened the oil fill cap to add a quart and there was a bit of smoke coming out. Not a lot but enough for me to notice. Anyway my question is this normal? I've never seen anything like this before so unsure what to make of it

Thanks

I'm assuming the engine was warmed up. If so i'd consider this normal.
No smoke but hot oil vapor.

^ This. It's indeed likely to be vapour - although it is generally moisture and other combustion by-products, not the actual oil that vaporizes (the boiling point of motor oil is well above 500 F - it would ignite well before it turns into vapour). It's perfectly normal.
