It's probably burning coolant, which would indicate a blown head gasket or cracked or warped head. Anser one could be a cause. However, there could be other causes. The first thing that needs to be determined is if what you call "smoke" is actually smoke. IF it really is smoke, then it could be coolant OR some contaminant IN the fuel. Another possibility, if it is NOT smoke, is the condensation of water vapor which is a byproduct of the combustion process. For the condensation effect to occur however, requires cold ambient air temperature, and the effect would be enchanced IF the relative humidity were high, in addition to the cold air. j3h
