Default Random White Smoke

I have a 96' GT and about two months ago I was sitting at a red light and when I pulled off I left a cloud of white smoke behind me. Startled, I checked everything and it seemed to be fine. It didnt do it again until a couple of weeks ago, and again today. I drive my car daily and its not something that occurs frequently. All of the times that I have noticed the smoke, its been about 65 degrees in broad daylight with my car fully warmed up. I have a MAC offroad H-pipe. Is this possibly a head gasket issue?

likely just the weather. my car has been smoking alot the past few months. some days there isnt a single puff out the tail pipes, other days it looks like a rolling meth lab.

you keeping an eye on your fluid levels?

Is it actually oil smoke? When the valves seals went on my original 2v engine thats exactly what it did, it was just at every stop. It would smoke oil when I first started it up and everytime I left from a dead stop, it was quite embarrasing.
