Hoon,
Take a mirror and hold it near the exhaust after letting it idle and then
have someone gun it a bit.
Then rub your fingers on the mirror. If it's oil you'll know right away when you
smear the mirror. Otherwise the water will dribble off the mirror. In either
case, if it's a lot you might want to give Mike Young a call. Hopefully it will
be minor like a gasket problem.

Hoon,
A general guess. Normally oil produces black smoke and water will produce
white smoke. My guess is that you have coolant leaking in from somewhere (head
gasket). When the car is warm then the smoke (steam) will not be visible.
