Check your oil and see if it has a chocolate milk look to it if not the get a compression tester 30$ at auto parts store and go through each cylinder and each compression test should be close to each other if one is dramatically different you have a cracked head gasket and can run around 1200$ to fix if its a chocolate milk look in your oil then its a cracked head gasket they can crack in those two places and white smoke coming from the tailpipe is usually an indication of a head gasket if the temp gauge is above normal.
