Started /Turned off/ SMOKE out exhaust tips. CONCERN?
This was strange, but maybe normal. I started my Car for 1 minute.
I gassed it once as I was checking something, then turned it off.
I went around to the Back of the Car and there was white Exhaust Smoke still slowly bellowing out of the exhaust tips. I blew on the exhaust tips smoke and it was still smoke just hanging around in the tips.
Is this anything to be worried about?

Was it white smoke or steam vapor? These cool damp days make for the water vapor in exhaust to condense and look like smoke. If it really was smoke, then from oil it would be more bluish in color. Water would be White. Check your plugs, if some are super clean you may have a head gasket leak.

yeah if it was cold out, you would get steam from the condensation in the pipes, happen every morning to me, in 10 degree weather.
