White smoke is a sign that coolant is entering the combustion chamber. This is commonly caused by a cracked head or blown head gasket or both. This is a very serious condition that requires you STOP running this engine immediately. Severe engine damage will occur if you continue to operate this engine. The head must be removed to repair this problem. If you are going to drive it somewhere for repair that is not over a couple of miles, change the oil/filter and drive it for repair. If it is over a couple of miles have it towed in for repair. If you have been driving the car in this condition for very long, then you probably have done severe damage to the engine and it will require a major overhaul. Once it is opened up a determination can be made as to how bad the damage is.
