Well you figured it out your self if your buning white smoke its burning water. So you probley have a seal problem. You may want to retourqe your engine stubs and see if that helps. It may or maynot depending on the age of the engine.

Did it snoke before you changed the oil? Check the oil level. You may have over-filled the engine.
