I have white smoke coming from under the hood and billowing white smoke coming from exhaust, and the strong smell of anti freeze. It overheated once last week, then the alternator went out Thursday has new alternator.

Good afternoon.

You are burning coolant in the exhaust. This sounds like you have a failed head gasket from the overheating.

Why did it overheat and what repairs were done?
