Strange smoke??
Well i've noticed that when i fire up my X in the morning it discharges a big puff of what looks to be a whitish color'd smoke. As if it's clearing the exhaust. WHen i first noticed it i shut it off and checked the tail pipe and noticed water in it. Smelled it and it had no odor. I have also noticed that while it sit's and idols it drips like a leaky sink hehe. Now i know with emissions car's tend to do that. Is this smoke something i should worry about or is it a norm? Only time it does it is if it sit's for a few day's or so. Goin out tomorrow morning to start it up and see if it does it again so i can get a better idea how long it has set.
O i've checked the fluids and see nothing odd or strange about them.

BigFord74,
I have the same issue every once in a while...
Here's when I notice it happens.
Start the V10 Ex for just a short amount of time...say to move the Ex a little in the garage and then turn it off...let it sit for the weekend...Monday morning...BAM...smoke...
Another scenario I noticed...at airport parking lot...park...notice that you need to move forward or back...start Ex for just a moment to move...turn off...leave for 2-4 days...come home and BAM...smoke...
I have NO idea what causes it but it seems like a short run, then a sit for a few days makes it happen...
