this is usually caused by anti freeze getting into combustion chamber. a blown head gasket will cause this. check the oil and see if anti freeze is getting in it. if its in oil you will see water droplets on oil stick. does the vehicle run bad, does it misfire, are you looseing power. these are the signs of a bad headgasket. does anti freeze disappear in cooling system, does it smoke all of the time!! if so its probably the head gasket, if above symtoms are there.
How's the anti-freeze doing? Usually when you see white smoke coming out the tailpipe it's because you are getting anti-freeze in the exhaust somehow. Try to sniff it a little does smell like anti-freeze, or oil? I don't know why the oil pressure would be low unless you are getting anti-freeze in the oil. Does the oil look milky, knda like chocolate milk? The low oil pressure could also be a faulty gauge, you may want to have a mechanic put a mechanical gauge on the car for test purposes.
The reason that your anti-freeze is gelling in your rad is that the mixture of anti-freeze and water is too weak. this could be because of old anti-freeze(same as oil,it deteriorates over time, usually 2 to 5 years), or there could just be too much water added. I would suggest a cooling system flush, and re-fill with a new 50/50 mixture of water and anti-freeze.
