i just bought a 1998 mazda millenia s with the miller cycle supercharge engine. i change all the fluids and everything looked normal but when it is first started and until it warms up good i get white smoke from the exhaust it happens when i play with the idle sometime too but go's away after driving for a good distance. but everyday the same thing. i checked all the fluids and levels everything is good im not losing coolant and the oil is not milky could it be cause it sat for a while and maybe the seals inside (valve seals) are dry rotted. please help im confused.

If its the valve seals the color is gonna be blue-its burning coolant somewhere when the engine is cold but when fully warmed-up it seals up due to metal expansion
