How many miles on the car?
What's your timing set at?
Was your car recently tuned up?
When's the last time your oil was changed, and how many quarts were put in?
I take it by your user name, vti-R, that you are not in the U.S.?

Looks like you're burning coolant. Probably a leaky headgasket

one of the reasons might be you have too much oil, or you need more oil.

oil smoke is more blue. if it's white smoke from the exhaust, i'd guess a leaky headgasket.
