Had the white smoke at start-up and thought it was normal since it is a boxer engine. Had VW's and Subaru's(STi and Tribeca).

Not to scare you but It is possible that your water pump is about to go. This is what happened to my 2003 Boxster. The light started flashing and it was not even above 180 degrees then after about 25 miles, everything went hay wire. The engine shut down and the coolant was dumped all over. Replaced the water pump and changed oil and now everything is normal - no more white smoke at start-up.
