check the oil cap, look at it, if it has anything other than oil in it..... that could be head gasket(it was for me), the oil had a milky substance in it.
The smoke could just be polution because of the test pipe, as my friends get puffs of white smoke and they have test pipes and no problems with the engine.

It is most likely condensation steaming off from water trapped in your hot exhaust system. This is normal, Don't panic. Just check the usual stuff, Is it foamy under your oilcap? Does your exhaust smell like antifreeze? Is your coolant low soon after you fill it? Is there oil bubbles floating in your antifreeze? If not then it is just steam!
