Could be a head gasket if it produces white smoke after normal operating temperatures....If it is not happening all of the time after start up and it occurs only at startup, It could be due to heavy condensed moisture in the air, from dew, a heavy rain, which can cause build up moisture in your exhaust system.

How much smoke?

Posted by: firetpi350

well it rained all this week * or last week* i think that was why, because now it doesnt smoke at all besides a bit because i spilled some oil on teh header during an oil change lol

My opinion is its either water sitting in your mufflers and pipes, or bad valve seals. In less your vehicle was made for unleaded gas.
