Mazda 626 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 184116 miles

This has happened to me twice, and always in the winter when the temperature is below 50, After I get an Oil change from JiffyLube.
When I start up my car huge plums of white smoke come out for at least 10 minutes then stops. My car runs the same, makes no bad noises, but sometimes I smell some type of fluid, oil maybe? But I never see Oil drip stains. I have looked in my engine compartment also, and I see some oil leakage around the engine, but would that affect the exhaust? Also this process is happened for at least 2 months well after the oil change

If you don't loose water or oil and the car runs fine after 10 minutes, I would suspect that when they change the filter or add new oil that some could have spilled onto the exaust and is burning off. This does happen some times.
