I think it only does it with older cars and stuff. I used to use it on my truck and every morning it smoke a little on start up. I told my boss about it since I work at a shop he says its happens with other cars as well.

smoking out of your exhaust? you said it stops after it warms up? sounds like it's just some condensation to me
