Smoking from oil filler

Did a search and didnt find anything. I noticed on my 930 when I take the cap off the oil filler it looks like smoke coming out when idling. Its a small amount but makes me wonder if this is normal. I overfilled it by almost 4 qts a few days ago. I have since put the right amount in. Any thoughts? Thanks

Is it actual smoke? Could be water evaporating off. Is the oil up to operating temp when this occurs?

It looks like smoke, my 87 911 did the same thing. Its at normal temp and car is running.
