Have you noticed if your car overheats at all? Does the motor oil look cloudy or murky as if there's water in it? Are you losing coolant, or does it look like there's oil in it? Does the white smoke smell sweet? If so, it could be a broken head gasket.

Car never overheats at all. Motor Oil is perfect and clean. Coolant is normal, no oil. Smoke smells like oil and gasoline. Weather is cold here thinking it's just condensation or running rich

I just finished a section of my course for automotive and from what you saying...it sounds like its just water vapours. You say its cold there so that means you can see your exhaust fumes comming out. To me...looks like just water vapours.

I suggest you get your oil tested. How do you know the oil is fine? only a oil testing place can tell you..
