Is it REALLY white or possibly grey? REALLY white is anti-freeze in the combustion chambers, indicating a blown head gasket at the least, then a warped cylinder head, cracked sylinder head or worst is a cracked cylinder block (basically 50 percent of the motor could be taken out and welded depending on materials, or replacing that chunk of motor)

The most common cause of this is a cracked head gasket, which you will need to replace in order to rectify the white smoke.
