You have a bad injector! Pull them out and send them for testing before you melt something!

It could possible a coating or something off the muffler burning. I have seen exhaust pipes and stuff do this before. I would give it a day or two with a couple of heat cycles before I would worry

White smoke means you have a low compression...I have had the same thing happen to me in the morning when the temperature is cooler outside, but nothing to worry about.
