Bluish white smoke while driving

[DrCactus]

I Started my car up the other day after it sat for 5 months - I too noticed white smoke coming out of the exhaust right away (-1C outside). It was not as bad once the car warmed up though... thoughts of what this could be? Issue or non-issue?

Okay so it's been a few weeks since I changed the oil and AOS. Everything's working pretty well except for a slightly distinct smell of fuel after starting the car. But surprisingly I haven't seen any oil leaking and it doesn't start burning oil if I drive it long distances like it used to. I'm a little curious about the smell though. Also, it's making a loud belt-whir kind of sound on cold start, but only sometimes. Any ideas?

My car used to do that too; I've read that after sitting for a while it's pretty normal
