I would like to find out if anyone had any knowledge to what might be causing clear smoke coming from under the oil cap on a 3.5L engine. Since a lot of people have oil burning problem on their 2002-2003s, I thought somebody might help me out with my 2002 QX4. The ECU is giving out a 3rd. cylinder misfire, that's the only code that I have. Spark plugs have been replaced, now I am working on the coils. But whenever I start the car in the morning when the temperature is closer to 0 C*, I do have a large amount of white smoke coming out of my exhaust pipe. I would like to thank everyone in advance what any help what so ever.

since its really cold when the white smoke appears i would say its more condensation from the exhaust than oil burning. When you change the oil is there less then when you put in?

I do see a lower oil lever now and then, so some amount of oil disappearing somewhere. My concern at this point is the smoke coming from under the oil cap when the car is running. Anybody else have anything to add to this matter?
