White Smoke Once a Day Only ?????
So after my daily approx. 1 hour drive to work in the AM and I head out to lunch (usually 2-3 hours later) when I start my 96 LS400 white smoke comes from under the car and the bonnet. This is the only time it does this. No other time when I start the car does it do this, only after I drive to work in the AM. It doesn't do it after my drive home. I was thinking a leaking Heater Core, but I have heat; only no A/C.
Any thoughts on what could be happening??

likely your air control valve (ACV) is leaking on your power steering pump, causing power steering fluid to burn at startup. this is a very common problem on pre-98 models. either get a new one, or plug it up as the link below shows. also be sure to check your power steering fluid level.
