How long has it been? Could be air just working it's way out of the system.

Is it running hot or over heating?

did a compression test and everything checked out. as for the leakdown test? no clue. white smoke in the exhaust. once in a blue moon when i start up in the morning it may do it.

Pressure test the cooling system to make sure there are no leaks.

The carpet doesn't happen to be wet below the dash on the passenger side by any chance?
