Default idle/smoke

i did a search but all of the threads had to do with heavily modded cars... i have a stock b18b in mine.. my car has been sitting for like two months in the garage... i try to start it up and let it run like a couple days a week and when i start it it usually idles at like 2k for a minute and slowly drops down, which i figured just because she's cold.. and a little white smoke comes out of the exhaust.. and rev'd it and brown **** shot out everywhere like rust color.. she runs fine when i drive it.. havent really had any other problems.. the oil doesnt seem 'milky' and it was changed like 2k miles ago.. and there was like a spot of oil the size of a quarter under my car.. i hope it isnt anything serious.. any suggestions guys?

first off a car sitting for a period of two months.. it's just oil has probally dropped down into your combustion chambers..it's burning/smoking out from where it's been sitting.

also i want to say that white smoke means coolant.. so check all your fluids and it maybe neccessary to start changing some of them..

change your oil and check to see where your oil leak has formed and where it's coming from.

goodluck.
