Default Steam/Smoke coming from port motor?

While driving my boat to the ramp to pull it out for the season, I noticed the port motor was smoking... nothing alarming but definitely more than the starboard motor. I have 365hp Mercruisers with Bravo I outdrives. The exhaust is thru-Hull.

Anything I should be concerned about? Motors ran fine all year.

I had just replaced both impellers on both motors at the beginning of the season, they were both trashed. I also dug out the broken impellers and they are all accounted for!
