White smoke out the tailpipe after warming up
ok, i am still being paranoid about smoking coming out the tail pipe.
When i start the car in the morning at first it does not smoke at all. After a few minutes of warming up white smoke start to come out the tail pipe and water starts to drip out the exhaust. This happens not only in the morning but after the car sits for a bit out side too.
Is this normal or my headgasket could be leaking again?
Recent work done: Rebuilt head, new composite headgasket, reused ARP headstuds. And i just converted to E85.

This is a blown headgasket smoke. I would say your HG is fine.
