Tom,
I wouldn't worry too much about what you are experiencing. I have seen this on several PS2 engines, where I turn the smoke unit off...and then a trickle of smoke is around the stack. Eventually it stops entirely. I see this with some of my heavy smokers. I would not be alarmed by this.
When you shutdown the engine, it turns the smoke unit off. There is still residual heat in the smoke unit and the vapor will sometimes appear for a few seconds after shutdown.
