i was wondering if anyone else had this issue? its not smoke its more like steam, it dissipates quickly into the air. if the answer is simply this is normal i want to know why

Because water vapor is a normal byproduct of combustion, and when the exhaust gasses, carrying that water vapor are cooled (by colder ambient air) that water vapor condenses out into condensate.
