quick question, white smoke/winter

[rice]

now that winter is almost here and the weather is freakin COLD, when i start my car in the morning and its not fully warmed up yet, it starts to pump out white smoke from the tailpipe, just wondering if this is normal? is this about my valve seals or anything? and what if i see white smoke and draining coolant? is this normal?

are you sure its smoke??..can u smell anything??...it could be just the exhaust fumes mixing with the cold air...

I have white smoke the odd time when is tart up my car,like the car start theres a puff of white smoke then its fine. I was told its just from moisture, but they said if it continues it could be a seal.

I thought everycar smoked in the wintre from the exhaust gasses mixxing with the cold air.

Stand out side and breath when its cold. ...thats what your seeing. Same idea as a jetplane's vapor trail.



^^^ blue smoke = bad seals

Are you sure it's not YOU the one that's smoking something???

Sounds like just the temp difference to me.. ever seen cars when its like -15 to -20 outside??? all you see is white smoke.
