white smoke - water vapors... or, as you may have already discovered, antifreeze... I do not know how to resolve the issue nor how to further test it (involves "juicy" parts of the car!!) but I know for a fact that white smoke is not good... some stuppid gasket somewhere inside the engine went kaput and collant is leaking inside the engine...

at this point the leak is small but over time it will grow bigger and it will blow your engine... you need to do something, and do it rather sooner than later (sorry, I am helpless in this kind of situation!!!)
