Need more detail as to when and under what conditions the smoke occurs. i.e., on startup, full boost, decell, downshifting, rpms, etc.. List any mods and engine mile too.

Honestly if it does it only on rare occations, I wouldnt stress about it too much...If it was something serious it would do it all the time. It most likly is something harmless.....

Is the weather cold/damp when this happens? It may simply be condensation build up in the exhaust system. Coolant leaks tend to be a persistant problem, not an intermittant one.
