Just bought this Cherokee the other day. Noticed that after the engine warms up, there is a cloud of white 'smoke?' coming from the exhaust. After a short drive, the smkoe disappears. This smoke is clean, no residue and quite a bit of water on the ground behind the tailpipe. Any suggestions?

if you notice your running low on antifreeze you should check your head gasket or intake manifold gasket. if the antifreeze levels are good then you can expect there is a little bit of water in the fuel, like on most vehicles and since it is so cold out it doesnt take much for the water vapor to show up.
