It'll just be condensation. You should worry if you get clouds of smoke when hot.

The only time I got white smoke was when my old ecu went nuts and decided to leave one of the injectors on full wack which flooded the engine.

As I don't use mine everyday sometimes it can smoke a little (only a small puff) for startup anyway, it's usually just because of the boxer engine layout where the oil settles in the bores also.

Might be worth taking it to get checked but if its fine when warm, hopefully it will be nothing. Levels ok?
