Gsr white smoke when cold/humid, slightly less when warm

Car smokes on startup, quite a bit (hard to explain how much). Then after driving for about 20 mins, long after its heated up, still smokes a little less.

Coolant is still green, oil not milky, exhaust just smells exhaust, not sweet.

Not sure about coolant level because I just drained and refilled the system and not totally sure how much was in it.

Could it just be because its cold / humid?

I was told if it was just condensation it would burn off after engine was up to temp and exhaust was warm.

Check the coolant level a few times for a span of a few days.

Hopefully it stays at the same level.

Just checked my rad and it was pretty much empty...

Could have not been totally full since doing the tstat but shouldnt be empty.

Looks like I might be doing a head gasket soon unless anyone else has any ideas

I'm still not convinced that's what it is. Smoke doesn't smell bad and it seems to go away once it gets driven for like 30 mins when its not super cold or raining. Low coolant could be because I did tstat and burped it and didn't top it back off once it was cool

Only issue is when driving even for 30mins plus it still has smoke/vapour when its raining out. Does that happen to anyone else?

when it is cold or humid you can see exhaust better so I doubt that is a factor. I would fill it back up and see if it goes down again. If your car is running fine don't fret too much over it yet.
