White smoke.

White smoke.
I have light white smoke coming from my tailpipes. The tips are black and I'm thinking my car is running a little rich. Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks

Head Gasket: A damaged or blown head gasket will cause coolant to enter the combustion chamber resulting in white/gray smoke coming from the tailpipe.

If its coolant what is burning, it usually smells sweet as the coolant does.
I have noticed that if i am driving short trips there is some moisture coming out from the exhaust tips, specially now when its winter.

White smoke means there's a new Pope elected so maybe there was some channeling happening with your car. The date of your posting and voting for the new head of the Catholic church- coincidental, I think not. :-)

Damn, I just realized someone else thought of the same thing.
