Smoke out of the exhaust.

[Typhoon]

Hi guys - recently bought my 197 - when I stop the car and park up, smoke (looks white/clear as opposed to blue/black) comes out of one side of the exhaust for a good 10/15 minutes.

I took this in to a garage next to work and he said he can't see anything wrong but I thought I'd ask you guys if you know anything to check just to ensure it's all good?

Cheers

Condensation in the exhaust in cold weather causes steam when heat is applied.

Many cars suffer from water collection in the backboxes, which also causes it.

If its dissapearing very quickly once it leaves the pipe and is white then its just water, so like MartinR says is probably just condensation buildup.

Cheers guys - just wanted another opinion for peace of mind!

My standard exhaust started to do this before I bought an aftermarket, welds where split on 2 joins causing water to ingress so as per above once the weather heats up it should disappear.
