Since buying my V6 ZXi a couple of months back, I have noticed a white/grey smoke coming out of the exhaust whenever I start the car up, even on a boiling hot day. It appears to settle down when the engine is warm, or so I thought, but when a colleague followed me home last night, he said he could see white/grey smoke coming out when I accellerated. The engine had been running for a good 20 mins so should have warmed up enough. It appears to be a kind of hot steam, like what comes out of an Iron. I'm definately not losing any water/coolant and my earlier oil problem seems to have settled down, and the car isn't overheating so does anyone else have the same problem or know what this could be? The car is a 97P with 94k on the clock. Hopefully it's nothing serious because the car otherwise runs perfectly.

See my reply to a different question about the exhaust system: -

2nd reply up from the bottom.

Some vapour is ok but if it's thick white then I'd have your coolant system checked.
