I remember the "smoking hillside" being reported years ago. It is in an area that isn't known for its volcanic activity. In the video, the reporter said that there were no odors coming from the steam/smoke. For that reason, I wonder if this really is volcanic in its source. Having never been close to a steaming volcano, can someone comment on whether they can vent without there being an odor of some sort? There are fumaroles in a field about 30 miles from where I live, and although I've never seen them first-hand, the many Internet blogs, posts and videos all report a sulfur or hydrogen sulfide odor coming from at least some of them.

Experts Keep An Eye On The Turrialba Volcano (Costa Rica)
For over 100 years the Turrialba was dormant, but now is visited weekly by experts who are tracking its changes.

Playing Dutchsinse there have been several earthquakes in So. Mexico, and Honduras and Nicaragua, just to the No. of Costa Rica, in the 4.0's. And of course across the Caribbean to the East is Puerto Rico, which continues to have small earthquakes. So, maybe this volcano activity is all part of this?
