I noticed yesterday that I have a light gray smoke coming from my pipes at idle. I assume this also happens while driving, but I can't tell for sure, obviously. It is pretty noticeable.

The car has otherwise had no issues and no lights nor warnings are on the dash. I always run 93 octane fuel.

Any ideas? The car is right at a year old and this is a bit frustrating. I already have an appointment at the dealer, but I wanted to see if I could get an idea of what may be causing it and if it's a common issue.

I'm also going to have them look at some rough starts I have every 10-15 times I start the car.

Pictures of the car and the problem will be up in a sec.

Thanks all!

Here's a picture of the smoke:

Don't know if I can post images being new, but here goes:

And one of the car during happier times (actually taken as I was buying it as evidenced by the sticker):

Also, for what it's worth (sorry I can't edit this in to the prior post, don't mean to have so many in a row), it does not seem to do it from a cold start, only once the engine has warmed up a bit.

Thanks!

Just looks like exhaust to me to be honest...maybe someone else can chime in.

Any underlying issues? Down on power? It just looks like condensation to me.

Power does seem down to me, and definitely a smell to the smoke. I couldn't place it anymore than to say it's definitely not normal.

It only does this once warm. On a cold start, there is no smoke.

Thanks!

Is your car consuming oil?

Yeah, looks like regular exhaust. However more info is needed; have you done any mods like cai or tunes?
