A very small amount of white smoke at startup is normal and is nothing more than condensation in the winter. However combined with a loss of coolant with no apparent leak, overheating, white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap, or overfull oil level, means you have a blown head gasket and or cracked head.
