White smoke

I know when you have your heat on in the winter you see smoke coming out the exhaust but waht is the deal with iit coming out in the summer? My heat is not on and my ac is not on. Does anyone else have this problem? What is the solution?

White smoke means there is water in your exhaust. This can be caused by condensation = no big deal.. or a leaky head gasket,intake gasket, etc. = pretty big deal. How much smoke are we talking? How long? Are you puffing smoke all over the place or just for a second on startup? We need details

yah shouldn't be a problem if it goes away after you start your car for a few minutes. but if it starts coming out of the engine compartment then you got a big boo boo.

To be perfectly honest with you I just noticed it and it is usaually when I just start up the car. If it is water in the exhaust is that just do to rain? Is it something I need to worry about? If so how do I fix?
