Suddenly Started Smoking White

The other day, out of the blue, my FC started smoking...and it's not like normal FC smoking. For example...when I take off from a stop, if I get on it a bit (like 4-5k RPMs per gear), by the time I hit 4th, it starts smoking. It seems white-ish...but it I don't think it's coolant, cause it's been doing it since Friday and I'm not low in the least. At the recommendation of a friend who is somewhat of a rotary buff, I put 20-W50 in it and it hasn't stopped it.

Does anyone have any idea what it might be?...or how long my motor has?

Thanks very much,
Collin

I would run a compression test on the motor.
