White smoke/Cold Startup
Hey guys, on cold start-ups i blow white smoke, more smokes blows when I'm leaving in reverse if I don't let it heat up enough. as far as i know no smoke just driving/wot. i just did my coolant flush, I've kept a eye on while started, no bubbles, it is a f13 cam, when i bought it was only driven about 200 miles in 2 years, with fresh royal purple but i have switched to Mobil 1, I changed the oil right away, looked fine little dark but normal. the smoke is not sweet, smells like burnt oil and the oil cap is a dark golden, i figured it was from the sitting oil not being used enough, the car runs great/drives great.
I have done a tune up, plugs wires, filter, cleaned maf, I still need to install my pvc valve.
What are you guys thinking this is?!

Seems to be more when it sits longer but if cooled off for a while just puffs for a couple of seconds
Its starting to get 40-50 in mo. So it may affect it more

Well, I've started it and had no bubbles in the coolant, I should use a tester. I thought if it was coolant it would smell sweet, but smells like oil/gas mixed. I've noticed a burnt smell in the engine bay when driving for awhile.

I changed it two days after I bought it. Had a oil change but sat for about a year with only 200 miles on that oil, it looked fine/normal for sitting. I will smell the oil soon because im due for a change.

I think your car's probably fine. I'll get a steady stream of white smoke on a cold start all the time here in Texas. Especially during the fall/winter seasons. Did it with and without my cats. More than likely, the smell is just a bit of unburnt fuel from cranking. The smoke is just condensate.
So relax and enjoy your new ride.
