im guessing its not good but seems like my fd lets out a little bit of white smoke. Its hardly noticeable but when i rev it up it gets a little thicker im not too shure how much thicker tho because of my fear of the unknown i never leave the car on for too long.
so what could be the cause of this smoke and is it some what normal?

If the white smoke is when after your car, the water you are seeing is normal moisture.

You will need to run the engine for about 20 minutes and let the car get to normal operating temps.

If however you see white smoke after you have warmed up the car and have driven it around a while, making sure that any normal moisture is gone, then I would worry.

So, since you've never driven it, let it warm up about 30 minutes, making sure you keep an eye on the temp gauge (as not to overheat for any reason). If you then don't see any more white smoke, drive it around for 15 to 30 minutes, keep an eye on the temp gauge (any movement from just below the middle and you better keep a close eye on the gauge, if it starts moving past the middle you might want to pull over and stop). After driving it and the gauge stays in one spot, pull over and look at the exhaust while idling. If there is no white smoke, you are a.ok. If you still have white smoke, get a pressure test done on you coolant system.

Good luck.
