Another good indication is what the smoke smells like. Antifreeze will have a sweet smell – well – like antifreeze(!), which is 100% different to a burning oil smell.
If it is a smell of antifreeze, the most likely place for it to enter an engine is via the head/head gasket (although it could also be via a crack in the block). You say that the head gasket was replaced. Was the head checked for cracks/warping when it was off?

yes, the head, even the cylinders too were checked, and got a passing mark from the dealer
wasn't able to check the smell, i'm going to go back to the shop to get an update, will check for smell this time
