Default clear/light colored smoke

Just bought my first cherokee, its a 94 4x4 with 4.0. I noticed when it sits at idle for 10 minutes or so, a clear to light colored smoke comes out the tailpipe, once I start driving it stops. It seems when my temp gets to around 210 and stays for a bit is when this happens. Vehicle does not overheat and runs perfect at all times. Passed smog with flying colors too. Id appreciate any thoughts on this matter, thanks a lot. Corey

Are you losing oil or coolant at all?

Don't seem to be. I'm wondering if its just gas cause it kinda smells like it. No visible liquid build up or anything either
