Usually white smoke indicates a coolant leak. If oil leaks into the cylinder, you’ll have blue-ish smoke coming out of your tail pipe. Do a compression test on each cylinder to find out which one(s) is/are leaking. Are you sure your oil isn’t leaking from anywhere else (oil filter, oil pan, valve cover, timing cover, crankshaft seals etc)?
