White Smoke?

[1FastGP]

So for about the past month every time I start my car (02 GT) it will smoke a hazy white out the exhaust for 5 to 10 minutes. It doesn't matter if it's hot or cold or if it's been sitting for a week or 10 minutes it will smoke. I will post a video later. Any ideas?

If its not just exhaust system condensation that has become more visible since weather is turning colder....

it could be an early warning sign of upper intake manifold trouble. Especially if it has the original equipment and gaskets in place. I'd check the oil and coolant first for any strangeness or low level. Since coolant makes white smoke (steam), oil makes blue, and fuel makes black. Catalytic converters can mess with smoke signals though. Pressure testing the cooling system and inspecting spark plugs could provide further clues, as could a report of any work thats been done to it lately. Oh yeah and a vid later.

I put an HV3 in like a week before it started so I'm kind of leaning toward my problem being around there. And to go along with that is there supposed to be oil pooled up in the upper intake

Yes, oil pools in the corners from the PCV.

how cold is it there now? a cold pipe will condensate as its warmed up. mine just started this crap this last week. once the pipes are warmed up it stops.

It's 70 in NC today but it did when it was close to 80 or down in the 20's. Maybe it is the pipes but my grandma's car with the same exhaust doesn't do it so who knows.

thats pretty warm out for the cold pipe scenario.

after it sits for a bit pull the plugs to see if they are wet with coolant.

Unless the humidity is really high, we have that down here even on a warm engine of the car has been shut off for about 20-30 minutes.
