I suspect that you have a blown head gasket letting coolant into one of the cylinders to cause the white smoke and the lowered coolant level results in over heating of the engine. overheating with white smoke indicates coolant in the combustion chamber 99% of the time this is caused by a leaking head gasket. dont keep driving till you get it repaired or you can crack the block, needing a new engime or warp the head needing new head. head gasket is least expensive to repair

This problem could be cause by too much tension on your engine.
