My guess would be that despite you saying your leakdown test was "ok" (what was it actually?), your headgasket is not sealing properly and your burning coolant.

My car does this as well, a big puff of white smoke comes out when I start it after the car has been hot from coolant probably boiling up and seeping into the cylinders while it sitting there.

I'd change the headgasket ($95 for a GE) and get some head studs and see how she goes.
