Just started it up then to check for smoke and there was none, so it seems it's on cold startup only. (Drove to Wangara and back earlier on.)
Is your car parked out in the open overnight?

Colder nights now = possible condensation build up in exhaust. Will vapourise when car started.
magic1 and squid like this.
