It sounds like you have a bad head gasket. WHen coolant enters the combustion chamber, it burns white, the same as you described coming from the exhaust. You will not see a leak because it being burned. Also, check the motor oil to see if any coolant is mixing with the it.

Let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using 2carpros.com.
