Default 95 Civic Idles Low & White/Grayish Smoke !! HELP

OK i have a 1995 Honda Civic 1.5 ... All of a sudden i noticed it was idlein low and its smoking white smoke ...
1st instinct said Head Gasket so i ran a compression check all 122-130 in all 4 cyclinders ....
Plugs look ok ...

I have racked my brain and what in the world would possibly create white smoke with out a blown head gasket ??

I have no check engine light at all .... never have seen it ...
The motor was not over heated im 100% sure of this , so that is what has me thinking it has to be something else ...

Has anyone had this issue or could anyone steer me in a direction ?

WOULD PLUG WIRES MAKE IT SMOKE ?
INJECTOR ?

IM LOST !!! ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED ...

How much smoke are you talking about? Is your oil level noticeably lower?

My hatch had the same problem, ended up being a valve that chipped.
