Default Smoking concern..

Hey all, im slightly concered about an issue im having with my wrx classic.

When i first start the car its fine but after a couple of minutes some small amounts of white smoke come from the exhaust. Now if i take the car for a run itll be fine after even when idling, it just seems to be during the point of being warm to full temp. Should i be concerned? Theres not LOADS, but enoufh for me to of noticed it. The car has been sitting and only started to be moved around for the last couple of weeks if this makes any difference.

Today there seemed to be a fait amount when i moved the car, but the car hadnt been started for a couple of days and it has been heavily raining. (big exhaust end with rain water in the end).

Coolant level is fine, and the oil seems normal so am desperately hoping this is pretty normal and not the headgasket or something. The smoke is white, doesnt really have any blue or anything in it and cant really notice much of a smell.
