Smoking engine when the starts
We know its a car.
say exactly where the smoke is. "where"
location. location.location.location.location.location.location.location
is EVERY THING !
"where there is smoke there is fire"?
can be or not .
the car has and engine that can smoke many a way
(you never said the SPOT that smokes)
the electrical can smoke , called an electrical fire.
the cooling system can leak an fool it seems all TV reporters "look car is smoking" but any mech can see gee , that is steam. (goes away fast and wisply like)
but the other smoke can be :
oil burning., white.
or fuel burning black.
the problem can be as simple as oil leak. to exhaust parts.
or you through a rod out the side of block.
i say get it serviced, if you can tell exact spot then you need real live human help. not the blind here. we cant see it,and you never posted a photo.
steam or smoke,?
if you see steam that is a coolant leak (simple) or gross over heated engine
if smoke lingers long)
that is a blown engine, or PCV hose fell off.
or just oil leaking to and landing on hot exhuast parts.
steam goes away fast, Like moms tea pot.
smoke stinks like oil burning.
and lingers.
that steam will smell sickeningly sweet,
like antifreeze does.
if the smoke or steam is from the tail pipe end, that be a different answer.
if the cat converter, like may car does
it can get a leak at rear of engine and drip to the header and Cat and smokes bad.
so LOCATION is what matters,
EXACT !
my guess is you dont want to look close.?
standing far away with fingers in ears? yes?

Turn it off. Dont lift the bonnet until its cooled down.
have patience and then pull up the bonnet to see where the problem is.
