The white smoke in the morning is condensation heat attracts moisture, Now for a 1998 you may have to add Mazda transmission fluid in it. That siren noise is the underdrive of the transmission they have alot of issue Make sure underneath the transmission area there is no red fluid other than that you will be needing a transmission ,
If the smoke is white you have a blown head gasket and unless you have been driving it in this condition for awhile it may only need a new gasket. You will have to open it up to find out. Black smoke indicates an overly rich fuel/air mixture and Blue smoke indicates oil burning.
If it's the org. engine it will has over 150,000 miles on it. It's normal to has the valve seal/oil seal on the head to leak oil into the cyclinder. The smoke you see is the motor oil drop from the seals. It land on the top of the cyclinders and it create black smoke at start up. The inexpensive fix is to start using high mileage oil with seal conditioner. This will help soften the rubber seals and help reduce internal oil leak. The correct fix is to wait until it's time for a head gasket replacement and let the professional service the head. Complete head service is the only method to stop this internal oil drip problem.
