Likely nothing, but I do know mine doesn't do that in cold weather. It will upon start up but once it warms up, unless it's really cold, it subsides quckly.
I'm hoping it's nothing, not really looking forward to a head gasket job. it's just that I can still clearly see the exhaust after 20 minutes of driving, that's what has me worried.

No weird smells though.
