If the smoke is white, then there is coolant getting into the cylinder. Blue smoke is from burning oil, and black smoke is from an improper fuel air mix (stopped up air filter or choke stuck stuck.)

Blue smoke means it's burning oil. Black smoke means it's burning rich (fuel). White smoke is usually caused by water which may indicate a blown head gasket or a cracked cylinder head. Check the compression on your cylinders. If compression is low, you will have to remove the cylinder head to replace either the blown gasket or the cylinder head.
