oil is burning off in the motor.



White smoke = oil

white smoke = burn water,blown seal

black smoke = rich fuel

blue smoke = oil



Check to see if your water level is decreasing.

ATF produces white smoke because it is closer to a hydraulic fluid than motor oil.

Check your fluids...which one is lower... I had the same question before since the smoke i get looks white, but is actually oil burning most likely coming out of a leaky turbo. I lose about a quart a week, and my coolant level has been the same for the last 6 months so its pretty obvious.
