Unhappy White smoke while car is on idle

Hello is anyone else experiencing white smoke on car while idleing? I just bought my nx 200t 2016 in December only 1,800 miles also I checked there's seem to have a water leak on car pipe. It's upsetting this is happenning on a new car that's only a few months old. Can someone give me any advice?

Have the dealer take a look at it. It's brand new and you shouldn't even spend a penny on fixing it being this new.

White smoke and water from the tailpipes is normal. I agree though take it in and have it looked at. If nothing else you'll have some piece of mind..

By products of combustion include water vapor and condensation from the tail pipe. Sounds perfectly normal to me. Is this your first car?

Funny how people never use the search tool before they post. A conversation like this occurred probably 6 months ago. Another owner who has no idea how parts on a ICE break in.

It scares me how little people know about their cars. It really does.

When it comes to their investment people just want to be sure. Not everybody knows about cars. I had a girl really pour oil on her engine because it said add oil.

You said it better. Thanks for not judging. Not everyone knows about car that is why I asked on this forum hoping people will help me rather than talk smack.

Two questions.

1. What is the outside temperature?
2. Has your engine reached normal operating temperature? Needle should be near the middle of the temp gauge.

Everyone should have a basic understand of HOW their car works. It should be required in order to own one. We foster a society of ignorance, and it's terrifying.

Pink, the next time you are out in traffic on a cold or cool and damp day, look at other cars and you'll see the white smoke. Some will be putting out a lot, others not so much and some none at all.
