Sounds like head gasket have you over heated your car lately. It may be just steam but, if it is a head gasket, your coolant is leaking into the cylinders and then out your tailpipes. Antifreeze smokes good. A sure-fire way to check for the latter is to check your oil. If it looks like a milkshake or has milkshake-like residue on your dip-stick, it's a blown gasket.

blown head gasket. the easiest way to tell is to open the radiator cap while the cars running BUT BE CAREFUL! if theres antifreeze in there it will spray and burn you! but if you have a blown head gasket when you open the throttle the same white smoke will blow out of the radiator cap. white smoke is a sign of a blown head gasket though.
