Cold startup - white smoke

Cold startup - white smoke
I know this topic has been beaten to death on the forum but I thought I would ask anyways as it does not seem to be very obvious to me. I suspect I am starting to have small coolant leak so I posted a video as describing it can be tricky as it could be interpreted differently by each reader. I hope it is just condensation but I have never seen this before on any of my FC's in the past. This is my first FD so I might be a little paranoid.
I have a low mileage 93 with almost perfect compression. Original engine. I have had to add some coolant after a couple of months after driving so more than 200 miles or so.
After the car sits overnight I don't see any smoke whatsoever on startup. Same after 2 nights. The video below shows the cold startup after 6 days. I don't smell anything sweet in the exhaust but my sense of smell is not great. It only lasts a minute or two.
I'm only worried that when I store it for winter having water in the engine for up to 6 months would not be that good ...
Here is the link. Thanks for your help.
