What is wrong with your car if there is white smoke coming from the tailpipe and the oil is not milky on the dipstick?

White smoke from the exhaust pipe indicates that the engine is allowing water into the cylinders. The water then boils in the cylinder and exits the engine as steam (white smoke). This could be be from the inlet manifold (especially if the engine is a V), it could be a head gasket (leak between the water jacket & the cylinder). Or worst it could be a cracked cylinder head.
Or, you're burning oil and you need an oil change.
