White Puff of Smoke

Every now and again I have a pretty sizable white puff of smoke that comes out of my exhaust pipes on start up, after the car has sat for more than 24 hours without running.....There is no consistency with this symptom.
None of my other vehicles have ever done this.
Have any of you (especially with S55's & S600's) seen similar symptoms in your vehicles?

My 2005 S600 also does that (some times) if not started over two weeks.
I understand it is humidity in the manifolds (not sure if from suspension oil or water).
Notice how far down the front end lowers after two days of not starting the car. It should not be noticeable if at all, if only two or three days.

My car never sinks after a few days of not driving it.....

I have the same problem...I can't figure out why that is either. But my check engine light just came on today and I have a clicking noise coming from my engine bay.
