I think you are one puff away from a much larger issue - your smoke issues are not normal and certainly not with such regularity. The black puff on start up is the cold ejection and the white is the same problem when hot, what you don't know is how often its doing the same en-route, I would put money on this doing it every "x" minutes, which is systematic of a tiny problem, that will eventually turn into a much bigger problem. Hangar time me thinks and be on your toes for auto at the whiff of a problem till you get it under cover and the cowlings off!
