I started up the Prizm today for the first time in a couple weeks. It burned off some white smore which gradually went away and it shot water from the tailpipe. After ten minutes of idling (I wanted to watch the car, temp gauge, etc…) the smoke faded away to nothing. I checked the oil + coolant levels, and both seemed kosher, but the coolant looks old as hell. the oil isn’t milky, but the coolant is ugly. any ideas?

it didn’t smoke when i quit driving it a few weeks ago, so what could have happened?

i’m guessing it was condensation. i’m not losing any coolant or oil, and the smoking stopped.
