I have had the same symptoms you do. Puff of white smoke on startup sometimes - smells like a tractor or snowmobile. It only happens for me when it is cold out and I have narrowed it down to only happening when I buy gas at a certain local sphinx station (92 octane). It does not happen consistently - maybe twice a week if it is cold and I got the gas from that place. I don't have a check engine light.
I am almost positive it correlates to that places winter gas. I can go a couple tanks at another place and never see it and then fill up at the sphinx and it might smoke. I have had it happen with the car being cold from 4 hours to overnight but never after only a short stop. I had this happen last year at this time of year and never saw it again all spring/ summer even with buying gas at this place.
I put new fuel injectors in a year ago so it shouldn't be a leaky one - but with how inconsistent the problem is I wouldn't know how to narrow it down to one.
