Hello SNAABrs,
I just had a very similar thing happen to me. I also have a 99 9-5 2.3l, and was house hunting with it. (I also live in Wisconsin.) A little background on my car: The last few years my head gasket as been leaking oil but I've kept up with oil changes and have my INDY retourque the bolts once a year or so. Just had it out by him a few weeks ago and he was telling me that he's not sure how much longer these band-aid approaches will last. He also asked me if I ever had my turbo replaced--I never did it but I bought the car with 60K, and now it has 173K. He said watch out for white or blue smoke. SO, tonight while I was going up and down side streets (averaging 15 mph, I stumbled on a place that I liked and wanted to stop at. I was running my car like this for roughly 45 minutes. All of a sudden I thought I was in that Stephen King movie, The Fog. Pluming smoke from out the exhaust--didn't know what to do--so, I reversed the car and drove around the corner and stopped again, and the same thing happened. This has never occured before. I then just drove off and for about a half a block, white smoke out the back, then drove it home without any smoke and parked it in the garage where it rests. The engine was very hot, but I decided to re-start it and no smoke. Just wanted to share this as we live in the same area, same car, and very similar issues.
