Was the car cold when u started it?.If so, does it do the same when warm. If so it could be just condensation but it looks like its kickin out a little too much so my bet is headgasket gone, leakin coolant into the combustion chamber and burning it

if it is only when it was cold, then I blame condensation within the exhaust that has caused the smoking. Nothing to worry about mate.

phong =P~

From a cold startthings need to get warmed up.

The 02 sensor is ignored from a cold start, ecu acts as a choke for the first few minutes flooding with more fuel, the 02 sensor needes to be hot before it can accuratly read the fuel levels and act apon it.

almost all falcons blow a bit of blue smoke from a cold start, even ba's.

factor in cold cats, moisture and burnt carbon deposits from the last hot run. mixed with condensation etc.

Do your tests with a hot engine. Smoke when you shut the throttle = valve stem seals, when you boot it = rings.
