you will get some condensation from it sitting over night, but it should be gone after a few minutes of driving

its a honda civic what else is slow with a muffler, well m muffler is low, actauly doesnt realy sound different... but looks better.
the smoke is a gray/white
and it makes sense that now i can see the smoke more due to the muffler not filtering the air as much, so a head gasket, hmmmm, is there anything else i can conseder? it cant be the valve seals, cause that makes it leak oil right, if im leaking coolant, why isnt my coolant resevre empty or anything like that? is it leaking very very little..?
Thx for all the help everyone, and sorry for the bad spelling, im in a rush when im online, between school and work, sorry.

Now there's some logic!

Point I was trying to make exactly!
Yeh, if it's white, I'd either check it out myself or go get it checked out, soon.

Edmel let the car cool and do the follwing cold.Start the car with the radiator cap off the car and see if coolant shoots out of the radiator.If it does head gasket.Look for bubbles in the coolant once its warmed up.If you got bubbles its also the head gasket.Usually if your HG is bad it will idle rough when you start it cold in the morning.Btw the laser should be running any day now.

Ok I did what I was told to do, early in the morning I took off the Radi. cap and started the car, nothing shout out. Then I left it open and let the car run and warm up. Still nothing no bubbles or anything, what does that mean?
