Coolant leak?

Or maybe that's blue smoke...

White = water/coolant

It will be like a vapour and disappear quickly out the exhaust

Check your coolant levels. if it keeps falling below the min. line, you may have a leak.

Yeap, looks like you might have a coolant leak somewhere, most of the time it's in the head gasket.

^So black smoke around 4-6rpm is an excess of fuel mixture, but at the higher RPm 6.5-8 is blow-by?

My dc2r spurts about some black smoke around VTEC, which is just the excess fuel.
