I have a 2000 rx 300. There is white smoke that comes out the exhaust and the car does not seem to drive the same. What could the problem be?

If you are getting continuous white smoke, chances are coolant is getting into the combustion chamber. Check to see if the coolant level is getting low. If it is, you could have a bad head gasket or intake gasket.
