what color is the smoke?

the color is what leads you in the direction of what to be looking for.

Blue smoke indicates burning of oil

Black indicates unburnt fuel (ie rich condition for whatever reason)

White sweet smelling smoke is burning of coolant

White/grayish smoke is just condensation being burnt off which sounds like the case to me. (freshly started and idling cars tend to do this quite a bit til all the water is gone.)
