first do as oldsaab says and compression check the system for gasket troubles and pressure test your cooling system.
If you ahve a leak in the cooling system or a cracked cap the water will boil on the road and there is you loss.
We had to just replace a turbo with simular white smoke issues, yes white. My indie was quite sure I was stoned as he claims he has never seen such an issue and my bearings didn't "seem" to worn (in the turbo). Guess what it's fixed with a used turbo slapped in (1995 CSE).
Whe had smelly exhaust (almost like a bad cat) but it was some type of oil getting past the turbo and into the cat IMHO. The white (yes white) smoke was intermittant and my wife said several times she almost smoked out downtown Columbus on a couple of lunch breaks, but it was very inconsistant.
So start with the easy stuff...compression and pressure tests, then go from there....
