Sorry, I guess I also should have asked if you are using any oil, as well, and do you make a lot of short trips in your vehicle?Sorry, I guess I also should have asked if you are using any oil, as well, and do you make a lot of short trips in your vehicle?

Where is the white smoke coming from? Under hood? Out tail pipe? If excessive white smoke from tail pipe, suspect a head gasket failure which in turn will fill the cooling system with exhaust pressure forcing the coolant to come out of the reservoir and resulting in an overheating problem
no idea what that means.?????? yes PCV valve. do clog.
white smoke at end if tail pipe. you didnt say where,?
white smoke has 2 reasons.(tail end) Steam and oil. steam goes away fast and looks just like moms tea pot. and smells sweet, like the antifreeze in engine. (rad cap off ,sniff sniff, cold engine)
oil burning, smoke is very very slow to go away. and smells like , blush burned oil. if not sure what burn oil looks like or smells like take out the dip stick on a hot engine let it drip to the hot exhaust manifold there. now you know. and is a key diagnostic skill.
no oil seen on dip stick end?, you mean that? well you need to keep that from happening, doing weekly service, and for sure old cars. 26 years old.
low oil invites blowing up a good engine. for sure. if it did that smoke is oil if it did 10x worse, both .
my wild guess is you meant to say I didnt see oil leaking on top of engine. right?
if the engine backwires to the air cleaner you forgot to replace the cam belt every 60k miles the pcv will also be clogged, on cars not getting proper service, super colon. if the PCV clogs,engine may leak oil bad.
this engine btw is a G10 3 cylinder. with TBI injection. we can talk TBI all day, owned one.
white smoke can come from many places exhaust manifold, leaks of oil can land there engine can back fire to air cleaner making smoke. tail end. steam is much worse. ill not delve in to that yet/.
Your exhaust valves have deposits on them that don't allow for a good seal when the engine is cold, or your piston rings are worn, allowing oil to get past when the engine is cold. In either case the seals improve as the engine warms, making the smoke go away. You can try to see if an oil additive will improve your situation.
Hi
Lots of things to check
?Leaking head gasket
Does it use brake fluid
Start engine only fo a few seconds, shut down, remove all spark plugs to see which ones are fouled
