I would start with exactly what you thought, the cap first.

You could be dribbling fluid from somewhere you would not notice i.e. a hose.

Maybe find a cheap pressure checker, and then check for bleed off.

White smoke would be indicative of a head leak. Bad side is I have seen some seep a little into the chamber which never showed until we did a pressure check of each cylinder.

Unless you have overheated your motor , I would not worry about the idea of a head leak. It seems that is less common.
