Right, this is confusing me.
The corsa is smokey out the exhaust practically every time i start it up.
I say practically every time because it doesnt always do it  but 9 times out of 10 it does. It does it on hot and cold start. and its not massively clouds of smoke, but it isnt normal.
Its white smoke, but doesnt smell funny, no water is being used by the car and the oil levels sometimes fluctuates but there isnt any noticable comsumption.
Any ideas what it could be?
Might it just need a good service?
Im due to change the intermittent EGR valve and ICV, and its due to have filters changed and oil swapped soon too.
Thanks
Marc.

Not just condensation from moisture in the exhaust
My x16xe does it for about 5 minutes untill warm.

My X14 does similar, just due to the moisture in the exhaust.

If its doing it after 10 minutes then id be looking for a problem! My water kept boiling over and got a bit smoky so we thought it was head gasket failure Exhaust to coolant. After a few days it stopped doing it ( i also put RadWeld in the system just to see if anything happened so might have been that that sorted it out. But its all running fine now 
Take it in to a garage for a "Sniff test" and compression test just to make sure.
