If it was coming out the exhaust, and you didn't hear any horrendous noises coming from the engine at the same time, then it is likely a head gasket failure allowing coolant into the cylinder head. Why it would go away, I am not sure. If it was smoke from outside the exhaust, something actually burning on the car, then maybe an overheating catalytic converter or a failed heat shield that protects the car from the heat of the exhaust system.
