Default white smoke

my cars been on the drive for ages, i started it up today and theres qutie abit of white smoke coming from the exhaust, it was fine just its been left a while you reckon changing the oil would stop it from being gay or u reckon itll stop after its been ran for a while so all the shit can get out?

Probably got an exhaust system full of water! Run it for a while and see if it clears

If it's white it's probably just condensation - nowt to worry bout
But if it does'nt stop & your losing water & your oils creamy then it's time for a headgasket change.
