White smoke from the tail pipe is moisture/water turned to steam.It comes from the air drawn into the engine and/or coolant in the engine.If you see excessive white smoke and your coolant level is dropping,you are most likely steaming coolant.Oil burning usually comes out as blue smoke.
Where is the white smoke coming from? Under hood? Out tail pipe? If excessive white smoke from tail pipe, suspect a head gasket failure which in turn will fill the cooling system with exhaust pressure forcing the coolant to come out of the reservoir and resulting in an overheating problem
Are you saying you have smoke coming out of the tail pipe ? Or is something dripping onto the exhaust pipe and burning ? If the smoke is coming out of the tail pipe, is it blue, white, or black ?
Possibly a blown head gasket, letting coolant into the cylinders to be burned. White smoke is usually coolant burning. Have the engine's compression tested to verify.
