Well part of it looks normal. But if its white and out the exhaust its either condensation OR you have water getting into your engine like skydive said. Blown headgaskets are most common but with this car coolant does go through the turbo's so there are many things to look into.

Without anyone tearing down the car or seeing it in person I dont think we can offer you much help.

So monitor coolant levels. Be aware that if your engine ingest to much water you can hydrolock and boom.

If the exhaust smells sweet (not rotten eggs) it's coolant.
