Smoke at stoplights

Can anyone tell me the source of the smoke that is coming out of my engine when I sit for a while at say a stoplight? It is not thick smoke but it is not normal for a car with 72,000 miles. I just installed an open air element and now this is happening. Did I do something wrong? Anyideas would be great.

What color is it? White can mean you're burning some coolant, black usually means oil. After re-reading this, do you mean out of your exhaust or the engine itself? A little more info, please.

what did you do with your PCV hose that was connected to the old air cleaner? It could just be smoke coming out of there.

Out of the engine area or out of the exhaust?

If out of the tailpipes......not good.
