Blown cylinder head gasket , water from the cooling system is entering the cylinders via the head gasket thus emitting steam through the exhaust system. Depending on specifics of engine I have repaired this problem several times without prior mechanical knowledge simply by following insttructions in Hayes manuals, do not let garages fool you into the "oh the head will need lathed etc " just ensure that you keep pistons clear of any loose fragments from the old gaskets removal , the Hayes will guide you through this with a sufficient socket extension kit, no prob £50 -60 if you do it 300- 450 if a mechanic does it , for a ! hour job you gotta be kidding!

Yesterday you just had your oil changed in your 2007 mustang GT This morning a puff of white smoke came out the exhaust as you started it No smoke afterwards Why did it do that?

White smoke in the exhaust means water is being burned in the engine. A small puff of white smoke the first time you start a car in the morning is normal. Water condenses in the intake, and engine and when you firsts start the engine it burns off producing a puff of white smoke. It is nothing to concern yourself with unless the car is constantly blowing white smoke.
