White "smoke", A4!

Scared the heck of of me yesterday.

Following a caravan of people up and down some twisty mountain
roads, to go look at John's new house.  We get there, park our
three cars in the driveway, take two minutes to admire the
landscape.

Then someone says, "Dan, is your A4 *supposed* to do that?".

White "smoke" was pouring out of the grill.  I'm instantly picturing
an electrical fire that would soon engulf my poor A4... but a quick
whiff says it's coolant steam.

Open the hood, to find that the coolant reservoir had leaked
coolant out at the cap, and it was dripping onto the engine. I think
they overfilled it.

Sigh.
