Yes, and it probably is. When it is cold you will always see a small amount of white smoke from the exhaust as the hot exhaust meets the cold air. That is normal and nothing to worry about. However, white smoke from the exhaust can also be a symptom of a blown head gasket. If the smoke smells sweet that is burnt coolant. If you are loosing coolant with no apparent leak, your oil level is overfull, or the engine is overheating, you may have a blown head gasket. If you have none of these symptoms then you have nothing to worry about.
