Either condensation in your exhaust... but if it doesn't go after a few minutes, it looks like you might need to get the head leveled and a new head gasket. White smoke usually = coolant getting into the cylinders. Get a mechanic to do a gas leakdown test on your radiator - it will detect cylinder by-products that indicate a leaky head gasket.

yeah, it's most probably just condensation in the exhaust system. did you notice it when it was a cold night?

Just see if you get the same thing on long drives, if so then there may be a problem.
