white smoke a tad bit from exhaust in startup
hi my car is a 95 cx with a jdm b18b.
after sitting all night, when i wake up the next day i start my car no smoke but when i put it in reverse alittle white smoke comes out of the exhaust when i press the gas. i have a slight cam seal leak that runs down the head. i was wondering if its nomal oil burn off , or from the cam seal when the oil runs down it may seap into the head gasket? i need help? thanks

Its condensation in your exhaust system. Works the same way as seeing your breath when its cold out. Its normal.
