Under normal driving, and idle my car is steadily blowing white smoke. It doesn't do it right at start up, but begins about 10 seconds after the car is started. Any idea's on what could do this?

how's your water temperature? rent a block tester at autozone, buy some testing fluid and follow the directions. You most likely have a blown head gasket.

This is ultra rare , double check that.

Verify level of coolant.

Excessive white smoke is caused by coolant burning.

my 95 atx does this as well, mostly when the secondaries open, and its more noticible on a cold day. i also have a steady coolant consumption and there is no puddles. hopefully its just a head gasket and not a cracked block.
