The white smoke indicates there is coolant getting into the combustion chamber and burning with the fuel. It sounds like a bad headgasket. Check the oil for evidence of oil and coolant mixing and check the coolant level to see if it is low. Check that and let me know what you find.

Also, let me know if you have other questions.
