White smoke is normally coolant or something melting. So I would suggest we take the vehicle for a drive so that it is starting to smoke and then pull over in a safe place and look under the hood to try and find out where it is coming from.

Clearly if we have a coolant leak on the exhaust then that may explain it but at this point it is a guess.

Let's start with this and go from there.
