White smoke can be either moisture or Transmission Fluid. Oil burns black. I tend to think your engine is sucking transmission fluid up through a vacuum hose. Check your transmission fluid. I bet it is low. Often this is due to a faulty vacuum modulator.

Sounds like a case of bad piston rings. Oil leaking by the rings into the combustion chamber causes the white smoke. Lack of compression means a loss of the explosive power of burning fuel and loss of power.
