1995 accord seems to smoke (white) on start only when the temp is below 35(outside temp) or so. Smokes up to 5 minutes if idling but goes away and no issues while warm.

Some crazy sensor maybe?

valve seals? just a guess

 

Perfectly normal for a car to smoke on start-up when it's cold out. If it goes away after a few minutes, don't worry about it.

 

If the smoke is white and it rises and dissipates then this is steam created by the warm exhuast gases and air flowing through the cold exhaust pipe. As the exhaust tubing warms it becomes less noticeable. Same reason water will sometimes drip from the tail pipe. Completely normal.

If the smoke is a puffy white and does not dissipate, this is transmissiont fluid entering the combustion chamber and being burned and mixed in with the exhaust gases. Not normal but I don't think it's likely with our Hondas. Vehicles that used a vacuum operated transmission modulator can have this issue.

Hope this helps

 

are you losing any fluids?

 

If it's white. It is not oil. Oil burning at start up is blue. Sounds like steam to me. Hence leaking coolant into the combustion chamber via bad head gasket.
