Collected exhaust=you can't tell which rotor is smoking. White exhaust? does it smell like coolant? oil?

It could be water vapour from the muffler from sitting....

it smells like coolant/water vapor. It comes out of the passengerside pipe only, so does this mean its just build up?

I'd say if the smoke doesn't cut out after about 10 minutes or a short drive you've got problems with coolant seals. My FC's always have some white smoke in the morning, then it cuts out when the exhaust comes up in temp.

If the exhaust pulses feel equal between the 2 tail pipes, I would vote for condensation in the exhaust system, perhaps a leak on the smoking side that allows water to be drawn in while parked.

If it was a coolant seal, it should show from both pipes.
