white smoke coming out of the exhaust 99 times out of 100 is coolant leaking into your engine and being burned. if this is the case, a head gasket is blown or something in your motor or head is cracked. oil burns a bluish color with a distinct smell.

Can a bad head gasket cause white smoke to come out of the exhaust?

Heavy white smoke is usually caused when the engine burns transmission fluid, such as when the modulator valve is defective, causing transmission fluid to be sucked into the intake system. A stuck closed thermostat could cause the engine to overheat. If the engine overheated badly and repeatedly, a cylinder head could crack and allow coolant to enter the combustion camber. This condition would cause white smoke to blow out the exhaust.

I feel these are unrelated but you can investigate a leak in the hoses leading to the heater core as they maybe leaking onto the exhaust pipe, that would produce white smoke, but not from within the tailpipe exhaust. Water and oil leaks will produce white smoke the smell will help you determine which it is.
