HELP Excessive smoke!

When i turn on my completely stock L. on a regular 65-80 degree day here in Los Angeles CA. Ive been getting a bunch of white smoke in the exhaust. Only when its cold. I checked the exhaust and it made a couple of water droppings in my driveway. Is this normal. It happens when the truck is cold. But i think it might be too excessive. Once i rev it and all the water comes out/ with water vapor(white smoke) but it takes a nice while. Im just curious because i would think that would happen on cold days only and for a little while.

OKay

I just remembered, my dad added a octane booster/injector cleanor. You think that could be it.

I think it was the octane booster because as soon as i got a new full tank it started to go away. THANKS for your input. But headgasket? It got me thinking!
