Didn't go through any puddles or anything? Seems odd that it would smoke just thoes 2 times.

Try burping the coolant see if there is any air in there, check for intermix in the oil / coolant

strange, sounds like something got on the manifold. Maybe your valve cover gasket is leaking and some oil got on the manifold and burned off.

WTF?

Pretty sure you have to pour it directly into the motor,same place you pour your oil. And two other places as well. I *think* the throttle body was not one of them...
