recently, every time im sat in traffic and i look in my interior and left hand mirror i can see what looks like white smoke coming from my exhaust! i know that in cold weather you often get a vapour that comes out which looks like white smoke which is normal but thing is it isnt cold and i dont see other cars in front giving out this white smoke! im scared incase its a problem with my engine but cant see why it would be though because its well looked after and always passes mot, etc!

White smoke is normally a water problem. Oil is blue smoke. Keep an eye on the coolant level to see if any is being lost.
