I hate to say it, but I don't have the specifics on this model. However, it would be mounted on the trans and chances are what you are looking at is the sensor.

If there is no retaining bolt holding it in place, it should just screw into place.

White smoke usually indicates that coolant is getting into the combustion chamber. Is the vehicle using any coolant? Also, check the oil to see if there is any contamination. When you replaced the rings, did you check the end gap clearance to make sure it didn't need to be over sized? Also, was anything done with the valves or valve stem seals?
