First of all I had a problem with the temp after fast driving but fixed that problem because it was the rad that wasn't in a great condition..

But now after a week or so my car smokes a little. Not really big clouds or something like that but it's enough to notice.

Checked sparkplugs, were good and a Nice brownish color but changed them anyway.

New fluids, motul optimal in the rad and 5w40 motul in the engine with a hamp filter.

I noticed the puffs of smoke after a install on a whale intake (before it was just a alu pipe with a pod filter).

Car starts good and runs great! Nothing to complain about! No smoking when I drive only when the car idle..

So what could it be? Headgasket or something else that is causing this?

Also I run a 4-1 header with a ek3 midpipe with a Spoon N1. No cat!

It's a EK3 with a D15z6 in it.
 
I guess being in October it was just condensation from the cold weather. Nothing to worry about if there's nothing on acceleration
 
If the smoke is white ignore it.

If it's blue- you are burning oil. Further invest required.

If it's black it's unburnt fuel. Again further invest required
