Default smoke what? updated

the other day i decided to go kinda fast cuz there wasnt n e one on the road. i was goin like 120mph then i let off and slowed down and i noticed my temp gage went to a little over half way up and its usually always at the first notch so i was like ok ill just let it cool down.. i went to drive back to my school and everytime i stopped my exhaust poured a lot of smoke or steam i think its both. cuz i got out and looked and the drivers side tail pipe had a darker smoke commin out but when i was driving there was none at all just when i stopped. i am very confused on what could have happened. then next day it was fine i just had to add a little coolant and i had to add a quart of oil too.... but this doesnt happen when i drive normal just when i go fast. doesn anyone have any ideas? thanx
