Unhappy Please help! Worried about the Z

I am in the military so I am gone alot. I just got back after being gone for a week and something happened. When I started my car some smoke shot out from my exhaust. I let it run for a little bit and no more smoke. The car runs great. Is it because my car sat for a week? I just put a new motor in 4 months ago. Am I in trouble? Thanks in advance.

Could be just condensation (water) in the muffler. Keep an eye on it, but i wouldn't worry about it unless it did it when everything is warmed up.

It's probably just condensation. I'm in the military also, and my car has gone for months without being started. All the condensation sits from the car being not run for so long, and gets vaporized when it gets started.

It would help if we knew what color the "smoke" is though. Whitish in color? Most likely condensation.
