Head gasket is blown. Look to see if there is oil in the radiator overflow tank (white plastic tank between radiator and battery), or goopy, chocolate milkshake-like sludge in the engine oil.
If there are no visible signs of oil mixing with water, another possibility is the turbocharger. The unit in the XT is water cooled, and if the seals are worn out, it is possible that coolant is leaking in the exhaust housing and exiting the tailpipe as white smoke (actually steam). If this is the case, the turbocharger will require rebuilding.

Were is the awd fuse on a Subaru Forester?
Under the hood on the right (passenger) side on the firewall near the hood hinge. It is black with white lettering "FWD". Subaru does not recommend that you place the vehicle in FWD mode for every day driving. It is for use only as a test mode because it does change the handling characteristics of your Forester. --Ken
