Default steam or smoke?

Hey I had to leave my 07 2.5i covered all last week no one started it when I for back I started it up and white smoke came out the exhaust pretty heavy. Doesn't smell sweet and oil looks clean I do have header back exausy with a couple leaks in it. Could it just be condensation it was a wet week and it doesn't smoke while driving but did smoke after I stopped driving and let idle for a min. I'm out of town and cant do anything now but any ideas what it could be and what I can look for

On a warmish day, if you drive it for like 20 minutes or so and there is still visible exhaust, I'd say it's NOT steam.
