Neons had lots of head gasket issues. Check the coolant level. Also pull the oil dipstick to see if it has any trace of coolant and milky white material indicating coolant in the oil. If the smoke is very white and dense I is most likely a head gasket that has failed.

Tennisshoes - read the question from a few minutes ago. Between the catalytic converter and the engine? Maybe something is leaking onto the exhaust.

I am thinking the smoke at the tail pipe may be condensation or a head gasket leak but the other issue could be a fluid leak onto the exhaust. Not enough information or feedback.
