Probably coolant. If its cold out its most likely condensation from the exhaust pipes. Judging where you live, I thought it does get pretty cold at nights.

Im thinking that your coolant seals are slightly leaking, and after you shut the car off for the night, the high pressure of the coolant system is pushing just a small amount of coolant at a time into the housing, and in the morning when you start her up, you get the smoke.

If it burns your eyes it should be fuel. Leading towrds leaky injectors.

$10 says it's unburnt fuel from exhaust or you're standing in a covered/confined space

it may be fuel causing the burning in the eyes but my $10 bet is on a faulty coolant seal causing the smoke you are seeing, most people just don't realize their exhaust is so nasty and eye/throat burning until they start examining it for a problem.

it really depends on a few things for me, when it is warm out and the sun is out its usually like 3-5 seconds, if its cold 50 degrees or so usually about 10-20seconds and if its is cold and been raining 30-45 seconds, my corksport seems to store more condensation than the stocker and it also looks like more because i only have one outlet now. some smoke in the morning is nothing to worry about, but even after the car warms up and it still lingers slightly and starts to burn your throat, i would call that a blown coolent seal
