If its coming from the exhaust its just condensation unless it does it all them time, in which case a blown headgasket is suspect

Can you try to explain this a little more? Is it steam or smoke? Where is it coming from? If it is coming from the tailpipes, what color is it? Is it only when you start the car?

that rpm sounds about right, if it just comes out in the morning and you dont see the steam after that, its just condensation burning out of the exhaust, my car does this a lot too. just to be on the safe side, keep checking your oil, make sure theres no coolant in it. i think its just condensation though, you should be fine..

check the torque on your head bolts I had this problem in the morning and I took of the valve covers and redid the torque and presto- no more smoke.
there is no such thing as condensation in the cylinders. your head gasket is sealing when it is hot and letting just a wee bit of coolant in the combustion chamber over night.
As far as your english is concerned there are many illegals in this country who have been here for ten years or more that do not even attempt to learn the language of the land. Keep it up and know that most of us are just happy to see people trying
