puff of smoke on start up

do you guys experience a puff of smoke coming out of your exhaust on cold start. After that one puff of smoke or so the car doesn't smoke anymore.

It's normal. The oil accumulates and then get burnt off upon startup. If you get smoke that lasts longer than say 15-30 secs, then it's not normal.

You're okay!
