Noticed some smoke this morning

When I was backing into my parking space I noticed a little bit of light grey smoke going past me (from my car). I got out and it wasnt blowing any smoke out, but it sure seemed to have in reverse. This is the first time I've seen any smoke from it. Turbos were rebuilt about 6k miles ago and engine about 10k. Car makes good oil pressure, but it is a little low on oil (about a centimeter low on the dipstick). Is this normal or could something be getting ready to take a crap on me?

Car has had royal purple run though it since the rebuild if that has anything to do with it.

If the "smoke" dissipated fairly quickly (i.e you didn't have Indian smoke signals going up into the sky), it's just condensation inside the exhaust which is normal.

Well, that might explain it then. Smoke was gone so fast I barely noticed it. In fact, only reason I must have noticed it was because I had the windows down and was backing up.
