white smoke with bluish tinge is oil burning up in combustion chambers, smells like burning oil, if only at start-up, probably oil leaking from valve covers into spark plug holes overnight, and would explain an early morning stumble as the oil interferes with ignition, I ignore it on my car;
if all the time could be you need a ring job or head gasket;
straight white smoke with funky smell is coolant, head gasket likely;
straight white "smoke" from a cold engine, no smell, is H2O -- that's right, water (which is a by-product of combustion) that usually gets vaporized once the exhaust heats up, normal on cold engines.
look in your oil fill hole in front of the engine and also the coolant reservior, if there are white globules that is the two mixing, head gasket.
How many mile on car? Either way it isn't worth much on resale, might get more on a trade. I kept mine when we bought the lexus just to have a 2d car.
Good luck
mike
