Hi,
If you are seeing white smoke at start-up, chances are that is steam burning off in the exhaust and is normal. Also, based on the ambient temperature, you could see it at a stop sign as well.
How much oil are you using? If it is burning oil, usually there is a blueish color from the exhaust. Is that happening? Also, take a look through this link and let me know if anything helps:

Keep in mind, at 200,000, there is a good chance a small amount of oil is being burned. That really wouldn't be out of the ordinary. Chrysler and most manufacturers indicate it's acceptable to use up to a quart of oil in 1,500 miles.
Let me know as much as you can. Is the engine running properly other than the oil concerns?
Let me know.
