Its smoking when you hit the gas cause its building more pressure within the motor causing the gasket to leak a little more.

As a general rule:

- Black smoke = fuel (too rich etc)
- Blue smoke = oil (leaking rings, valve stem seals etc)
- White smoke = coolant (head gasket... also some times it smells "sweet")

Are you getting any CELs?

cel for coolant temp sensor would cause u to run rich, if its not working right, when your engine warms up its going to continuously spray extra fuel to compensate for what it "thinks" is still cold air going in to the engine...
