Default SMOKE from Exhaust.

Its two days now that my car been smoking.....it only happen in the morning. 60 degs. in the morning. But later on in the day....I don't see it. Is it normal? Also, I notice that my exhaust shoots out a lot of air......but it doesn't when I start it from a cold start.....after driving it for miles.....there is a lot of air I can feel shooting out.

First, do you live in an area where it is cold sometimes it will seem like it's white smoke if it is cold out, after getting that out of the way, the next thing is are you going through any of your fluids more than normal, especially coolant, white smoke usually indicates coolant, but im not sure if it would go away like that. I don't know of anything that would cause your exhaust to "shoot out" do you normally observe your exhaust this much ie. what are you comparing this to

If the smoke is a thick white color you might wanna check your headgasket. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge and coolant levels.

Now its getting cold in my area in the 60s but in the afternoons I don't see the smoke. What I meant for the exhaust to shoot out is. It has a rush of air....instead of it being normal and steady, the exhaust rushes out air kind of like when u rev the engine. And I have not gone through fluids.
