i remember reading something about ur head gasket could be leaking antifreeze getting into pistons causeing white somke to flow out. then again i could be wrong. then again mines does the same thing when its in the shop due to engine or tanny repairs during that time its out for like 2-3 months. white smoke comes out and after a 3-4 days of driving it it goes away. its better white than blue smoke.

Check the water level in your radiator. If you are losing water you almost certainly have a blown head gasket. Driving it this way can be bad.
