White smoke = bad coolant seal I believe.

How bad is the smoke? Lots little, Is it cold out? Sounds like a bad coolant seal. Is your coolant level going down at all? Take your radiator cap off, and warm up the car, check for bubbles in your radiator.

Yep, that's coolant seals. You're going to need an engine rebuild once it gets worse.
