Smoke from exhaust after hard acceleration

[leosuarez]

I have an issue where white smoke will come out of the exhaust only for a few minutes after a hard acceleration. Coolant levels seem to have stayed the same, anyone know what could cause it?

It COULD be moisture from the mufflers if the car has been, or does sit for extended periods.

I drive it every day and it parks in the garage

How's your oil consumption between changes?

Not too bad I don’t notice a dramatic amount to be missing

First question would be what is the color of the smoke?
Blue
White
Black ?

White

Then it’s coolant
Condensation only happen on a cold engine/exhaust system

A few thoughts,
What is the current humidity in your area ?
What is the ethanol percentage of the fuel being used ?
Is this a constant issue throughout the year or is it dependent on seasonal changes ?

Are you sure it’s white? I only ask because I’ve seen people misinterpret the colors almost always.
