Exhaust Smoke?

I have a 1992 Camaro RS 305. Everytime I start my car a cloud of white smoke comes out of my tail pipes. Does anyone have any reccomendations on how to get rid of this white smoke.

sounds like a possible blown head gasket. Do a wet compression check to see if you can find low cyls. If two that are next to eachother are low, thats a dead giveaway of a blown head gasket

If it's a blue-ish cloud it's probably valve seals.

to do a wet compression check, squirt a teaspoon or two of oil in before you insert your pressure gauge. This rules out the rings becasue it allows the to seal against the cyl. walls. This and the standard procedure for checking the compression are explaned in most shop manuals like haynes (crap), chiltons (fair) and helms (best).
