Just recently my car pumps out alot of white smoke after I start it up from a cold engine. Some people say that's normal, but I have a feeling it's not. Usually the smoke dissipates after a few seconds but this smoke hangs around. At one point my whole drive way was covered in it. I put some fuel injection cleaner in it a couple of days before that. Would that be the cause, or do I just need to put some engine flush fluid in it?

Cold mornings, Condensation.. Depending on the outside temp and wind will depend how quick it dissipates. Every car does it. Unless of course it doesn't smell like typical exhaust and is actual smoke and not water vapour.

its definitely not condensation, it lingers around. it smells a little different to the normal exhaust as well, but i can't put my finger on it
