Probably just not getting warm enough to dry out the accumulated moisture in the system…you say you do mostly short trips..

Even when it’s fully dried out in the right conditions steam content in the exhaust gases will stand out..

Coolant getting into the combustion spaces on N52 seems pretty non existent..
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..

I think i read for every gallon of fuel, 8 gallons of moisture passes through.
Often see in winter, but rare summer.

Unless like a smoke screen, i wouldn't worry.

Although it gives away my cars false tail pipes!
