White smoke is burning coolant, this means a leaking head gasket.

Is the smoke actually bluish? if so, you are burning oil.

I suspect that the smoke isn't actually white, and the synthetic oil is seeping past your valve seals and burning a little. Try using some Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer (make sure to get synthetic, and make sure to drain a little oil so that you can put it in, otherwise you will have too much oil)

Forgot to mention... it comes in a HUGE bottle. Don't use all of it. Follow the instructions.

Oil drain/refill capacity is like 3.5 quarts. The combination of the Lucas stuff and the Oil should not exceed the max line on your oil dipstick.
