white smoke on startup

[optimus234 at hotmail.com (Kevin S)]

Sounds exactly like my volvo. I get a bit of white smoke, its very noticable during the winter because of the temp dropping. Its buring oil and mixing with a little bit of coolant. Make sure to check everying on a regular basis so you don't run dry of oil or anything important.
