Tons of smoke during cold startup
Recently my car has been pouring smoke only during a cold startup. The smoke engulfs the area around my house and as the idle oscillates, it makes a pop sound each time the rpms go down. Its white smoke but doesn't smell sweet. Its a bit of a burnt smokey smell. When the car starts to warm up all the smoke goes away and runs/drives fine.

Going through alot of oil too? Gas mileage suck?
I'm guessing weak oil control rings and when they warm up they swell up and seal
Or really leaky injectors, but if it was that much fuel leaking, i'd figure you'd play hell starting it cold
Another possibility is a bad coolant seal and its leaking internally while the engine is cooling off.....thats what mine is doing, minus the smoke though

sounds like its due for a rebuild, not so much due to mileage but due to age.
coolant or oil, doesn't matter if something is burning off. coolant won't always smell sweet and will be quite a bit more noticeable in clouds of smoke during the cold season. by the description it sure sounds like it has a failing coolant seal.

I would agree as well. Some white smoke cold is normal, especially this time of year. However, you're putting some of the vape-bros to shame with the clouds you're blowing. Here's what I would do. Get a vinyl sticker for your rear hatch that says #DOYOUVAPEBRO? and go until you have the funds to rebuild the engine. It's probably the seal groove in the irons that has eroded out like KNONFS stated above. My S5 NA FC did the same thing when I first brought it home. Now it's in pieces in my garage.
