Default Passenger side exhaust has vapor coming out of it. Whats going on?

Noticed this morning passenger side exhaust had a lot of vapor(steam) coming out. Also header on engine had steam also. What would be the cause of this? Comments -please.

It could be just head bolts need to be tightened, if you're REALLY LUCKY.
