When I first start my car white smokes comes out of the exhaust pipe only about 10 seconds after I start it and smokes for only 15 to 20 seconds.

I don't believe there is coolant getting into the oil.
Not quite sure how to tell.

Question... Is the car okay to drive this way?

Thanks,

Is it getting hotter than normal/overheating if not could be just condensation

The car doesn't seem to get hotter than normal but does have a little miss in the engine and the exhaust does have kind of a sweet smell.

Sweet smell on the back points to coolant being burn in the cylinders-get it block and pressure tested.
