supposedly a little at startup is normal. How long does it smoke? I found this :

Mine seems to blow a little white after every startup. I hate the look of it but not sure if ok or not.

 

As long as it doesn't stay white, it shouldn't be a problem. It usually indicates water being evaporated, which could be multiple things, but if it's just a quick puff it's probably some condensation. It may have formed in the intake tract somewhere and is just passing through.

If it stays white, then you are most likely getting coolant into a cylinder. That's not fun (i.e. head gasket)
