Default blueish white smoke

So i go to start my truck this morning and when i did a blueish white smoke came from the exhuast after a few seconds it went away intill you step on the gas....after a few more seconds it went away again . Now i do change my oil regular and i havent seen any oil spot from where it could be leaking also checked the dipstick and the oil level was fine.Any one please help so that maybe if there is a problem i can attend to it before cuasing more problems.

thanks

Obviously Sitting On A Computer Tryin' To Help You Out Is Tough - But I Have Had This Situation A Couple of Times.

It Depends On The Color: Blue Tends To Mean Burnt Oil, White Tends To Mean Burnt Coolant

Customer Complained of Blueish Puff Sitting after The Vehicle Sat Overnight, or For A Decent Period of Time. Yet It Goes Away During Normal Driving Conditions.

I Would Perform A Compression Test:
-If The Test Fails This Could Lead to A Bad Head Gasket (White) or Bad Piston Rings (blue).
Bad Piston Rings Normally Show It's Result in the Oil Itself.

- If The Comression Test Passes, This Could Lead To A Bad Valve Seal, When The Vehicle Sits - It Allows Oil To Leak Onto TheInside of The Valve - When It OpensDuring Start Up, It Burns The Oil. Resulting In The Blueish Smoke.

Thats A Universal Issue, There May be A MoreChrysler Specific Answer.

its most likely water in your gas, when u go through this tank put some in from a diff station, that should do the trick, if not then u have bigger problems
