White smoke on startup
Hi guys, please the photo below, I have a 98 type r with a 2.5 sti block and original V5 heads. I've noticed white smoke when I start the car then goes away after a minute or 2 after driving. I thought it could be condensation initially but after earlier today, it could be more serious... any one come across this before? Can't upload a video unfortunately

Hi mate, thanks for your response... It's a stock closed deck short block (That's what I was told when I bought the car)... oil level is just below full and coolant is fine too. The smoke goes away after a few seconds from start up.

Lol sorry I'm new to this game... so basically the engine has had a full rebuild by scooby clinic in 2017. Block is a 2.5 closed deck short block (That's what I was told), updated race bearings, new valve guides and that's about it... it's done around 12k miles since rebuild.
It doesn't do it all the time, but second time round I sometimes get just a large puff of white smoke and nothing after... i haven't noticed any smoke in boost either...
