Excessive smoking from left exhaust?
 
So after driving my car from point A, to point B. (Example: home to work),
once I park my car, the left muffler seems to be outputting smoke, this happens for a good 1-2+mins out of only the left one. I compared this to other cars that my family drives but their car seems to have no smoke out of their exhaust after parking. The smoke is a clear white smoke, so it is very visible when you look.

Is this a problem I should be concerned about?
I do not smell any burning while driving.

I would take a video, but the smoke does not show on my camera. (iphone)

Edit: no fluids are leaking from what i can tell from underneath the car

Based on the fact that you're in Vancouver and it's pretty cold out now I would say it's just water vapor since you say it's odorless. Check your fluids, i.e. oil, coolant, and if you don't see the levels decreasing by any significant amount, you should be fine.

^:word: I notice it all the time; it's just the cold weather and the fact that our boxer engine creates a lot of heat.
The reason for why more vapor/smoke is coming out from the left exhaust is because of the way the muffler routing is designed. (Left side being closer to the catback)

Don't lose sleep over it. ;)
