not necessarily... depends on the volume and location of the leakage. Could be a very minor seepage that would not make any noticeable smoke but could prevent the coolant from being "sucked" back from the reservoir to the radiator... next time car is ran again, more coolant goes onto the reservoir... same not "sucked" back so eventually overfills... runs under the battery on the way down.
