White Smoke = Coolant.

Which in turn would most likely be a blown headgasket.

When you type something...use punctuation.

I have no idea where you begin and end.

trust me on this, white smoke DOES mean coolant, but if you have never seen either coolant smoke or oil smoke, both can be interpreted as "white" therefore, he may be burning oil...

do you smell a sweet-ish smell? if so its coolant, and im ready to bet you need a new headgasket

its hard for me to describe burning oil to you so check your rear bumper for thick black dust, if so, you are probably burning oil and it could be a number of things to leaky valves, to rings, to headgasket aswell, we need more info, really
