I couldn't say for sure about your 3.7 but my 2.8 steams rather a lot on these colder days and it did it last year too and doesn't use a drop of water. I put it down to a very long exhaust system that at minus whatever the weather is and only 6 miles to get warmed up isn't warm enough to prevent water vapour pooting out. Clean combustion produces water vapour which will condense in the very cold exhaust system. Once the weather warmed up the quite large amounts of clouds stopped. Mine always seems worse after the first mile or so, if i'm stopped at the level crossing it looks like masses of fog swirling in the mirror. I would say keep an eye on coolant and oil to be on the safe side! Lots of steam from a leaking head gasket, I imagine, will empty a coolant bottle very quickly!
