okay, so the problem is white smoke. COOLANT is FULL..water and antifreeze . I added those three days before i started seeing smoke. I don't know whats wrong. The heat temperature for the engine is not even close to the red line, oil is brand new, battery is new...i just don't know why i drive only for 15 minutes and i'm already seeing smoke...and if i drive it too long without getting it checked, will it damage anything?

While smoke is an indication of coolant being burn in the combustion chamber.

Could mean a blown headgasket crack head or block. To find out get it block and pressure tested
