Had to drive the GTA today and when I went to start it up it didnt want to start at first at when it did the SES light was on. I checked the oil the night before and it was about a half quart low so I drove to the gas station to get some oil and gas and when I got there I noticed smoke coming from under the hood so I popped the hood and there was a little smoke coming from the engine and the engine was not even close to over heating it wasnt even at the 200 mark. I have also noticed when I first start it up and start driving a bit for the first few minutes I smell antifreeze. No smoke comes out of the tail pipes. After I put a little bit of oil and some gas in the car it was fine and the SES light was no longer on. Any ideas what the cause could be and should I be worried?

grab a paperclip and check codes first.

The smoking sounds like oil leaking from the valve covers onto the exhaust manifolds from sitting.....
