Leaky exhaust?

Gd’evening all... quick brain pick, my girlfriend started the disco up this morning (being aware of the cold temperature this morning) and she said there was steam/smoke coming from underneath the engine area out around the front of the car... my initial thought was just hot air flowing around condensation the cold air in the engine bay... but she said it smelt like ‘smelly diesel exhausty smell’

But starting the car later on in the day it didn’t do the same thing again

So do some engines smell when they cold start?

I have a 2013 Ford ranger from new and have never had any smells from the engine

Any help greatly appreciated Smile
