When I started my car this morning from sitting over night. It had some not a lot of white smoke and then it went away after the engine got to normal operating temp.it wasn't like a crazy big cloud just a little bit. It doesn't come out when I step on the gas either. So is this cause for getting worried.The car doesn't run ruff or idle weird either.Could it just be condensation?

Yea just a little freaked since I had a caddy with a north star in it. And that car had white smoke all the time from start up to drive and shut off. Plus it had the sweet smell. So yea I'm not gonna get all freaked out. Probably is just condensation and it doesn't have a smell to it.Comment

in cold weather, my car just billows white smoke. Goes away with operating temperature. Perfectly normal.Comment

What year car is this? No year of panther chassis engine is particularly prone to head gaskets though.
