At least I think it's smoke. It burns off fast.
What color should smoke be if it's oil burning?
How about fuel mixture?
What order should I go in here or should I just not worry about it? It's not a lot... but just having it come out one side and not the other concerns me. It makes it out past my swim platform and then evaporates/disappears.
Am I just paranoid?

Blue smoke is oil burning.Black smoke too rich.White smoke is water vaporizing.Make sure you have water coming out both sides of your exhaust.

More info please?
when do you see the smoke?
Sounds more like water evaporation
If the boat is out of the water and water is not coming from the exhaust tip...motor running it will steam from one tip and not the other.
Does it smell like fuel from that side?
Compression check or leak down test might be in order.
