White smoke typically means water in the oil, often a result of a bad head gasket. Is the car overheating or is the oil frothy at all?

If it happens after it's warmed up, I'd be surprised if it isn't the headgasket unfortunately

What about the coolant tank? Did you notice if it goes empty frequently? It could be bad fuel too.
