First start up of the day (morning) after engine warms & stopping at first signal lights (stop & go traffic), I am noticing alot of exhaust smoke coming from my tailpipe. After I have driven a few miles & am able to excelarate, I no longer see the smoke. I have regular oil changes (3K miles) & no oil leaks.
What could be causing this exhaust smoke?

Depends what color it is...white can be just conensation from sitting and cooling down, or if it's constant, anti freeze, blue is oil burning, black, fuel mixture too rich...
