[s-cars] White/Grey Smoke on Startup

[Brian Powell]

Greetings, I have noticed over the past couple of months that on
startup (I drive my S6 1-2 times a week, so, it sits for several days
at a time) when I start up the car, there is a whitish/grayish smoke.
You can only see it when behind the car (it isn't visible from the
mirrors) as it dissipates quickly. It doesn't smell sweet at all (like
coolant burning). If I drive around the block after starting it, and
then come back, there will be a bit of water pooled at the exhaust
tips and very little smoke remains.

Seems like a lot of water to be burning off. Possibly due to winter,
more condensation building when sitting around? Coolant level is
absolutely stable and clean without any contamination. My oil level is
rock steady. Doesn't appear to be leaking head gasket (also, it
disappears after about 30-40 seconds. This is in Colorado where it is
pretty dry, too.

Also, on the garage floor after the tailpipe looks like a spray
pattern on the floor.

Anything to be concerned about, or just the water burning off? The car
starts and idles without any trouble, idles smoothly.
