Hi,

If there is excessive white smoke from the exhaust, most times, that is caused by engine coolant being burned in the combustion chamber resulting from a head gasket. Oil will usually burn blue.

Here is a link that explains how to check for a bad head gasket. Take a look through it and see if anything mirrors what you experience.

Let me know.
