Hi there,

if your car is not using coolant and not over heating I would be checking the transmission vacuum modulator, as it may have a pin hole in it and drawing transmission oil into the engine, this will cause white smoke.

Hi there, engine oil will burn with a dark blue smoke, coolant, transmission oil and brake fluid will burn with a very white smoke, so get your mechanic to check this out.
