I have a 95 Accord coupe LX non-vtec...I have a few issues with my car that are known but i dont think it has anything to do with this...My transmission leaks, needs to be replaced and i have a small almost insignificant leak on my engine because its missing timing belt seals....also i need a new A/C compressor.......
Aside from that the car is fine, and its been running ok.....
As of lately, I have noticed that my car occasionally blows out alot of white smoke when i start it up....Sometimes it does it sometimes it doesnt...and it continues to blow off white smoke until the car is completely warmed up...I dont exactly what it smells like but its smells bad...
Please help.

coolant leak? could be a head gasket maybe. Is your coolant level normal?

If this has happened just since the weather has turned cold, it may be normal condensation from the cold exhaust.
Water is a normal byproduct of burning hydrocarbons and normally exits the exhaust in a gasious (invisible) state. When the weather turns cold, this moisture laden gas condenses and forms fog (White Smoke) and condensation on the inside of the exhaust pipes (the reason you can't keep an mild steel exhaust for any length of time in the Northeast) and shows up as water spitting and draining from the muffler.
IF, (however) this continues long after the car's warmed up, you could have an issue developeing.

You mentioned replacing the timing belt due to a missing (leaking actually) seal, you also can just replace any or all seals on your leaking transmission too, no need to replace the transmission unless you are having shifting problems.

Keep an eye on your antifreeze and oil levels, you should see if in fact there is a problem with an internal leak soon enough.

i checked the coolant level a few days ago, and it seemed normal, I simply added a little bit of coolant it was missing. Before a few days ago, i hadnt checked the coolant in weeks so im guessing the coolant level in fine, but ill check again...For now ill go with the moisture in the exhaust. I continue to examine weather conditions and when it happens...It did rain last night so its probably the reason why it happened this morning....Thank you guys
