My Suzuki Cultus blows white smoke at cold start especially if starts after 2 or 3 days it blows white smoke about 10 to 15 min and then vanished, no effect on coolant level and also no effect on lubricant oil level while i am so worried about the issue, please help me what it may be and how it be fixed, regards

Usually it is caused by condensation and it’s normal, but as it is summer so it could be a due to gasket, a very tiny crack may also cause it which is hard to figure out with coolant level.
If in daily use you didn’t feel any smoke on startup I don’t think it is a big issue. But better get it checked from good mechanic.

It could be valve seals that worn away at 100,000 kms. If that smoke is not dense enough could be valve seals. If it’s dense that you can see it in side mirror then definitely it’s a gasket issue.

Definitely worn out valve seals. Oil levels will drop but very gradually.

Thanks to all for valuable suggestions and help, I consult with a mechanic he also said bad valve seal but I am now thinking about rope method for replacing the seals but scarry to decide either it is authentic or not, and also searching for the expert mechanic for said problem nearby (Mianwali or pindi)
