    Likely a blown head gasket, where antifreeze is leaking into the cylinders and being burned. If an aluminum head engine is allowed to overheat, the head may warp and the gasket gets blown. You may be facing a $1,500+ bill to machine the head, repair any damaged valves, and install and new gasket.

    thomasng, white smoke is usually a sign that engine coolant is being burned. Frequently, it happens after an aluminum head engine overheats, where the head gasket blows and the coolant gets into the cylinders and is burned. It's also likely some oil is being burned.
