1st, check your oil and see if there is coolant in it.
2nd, check your coolant and see if there's oil in it.

Check the little hose that comes off the passenger side of the throttlebody and goes to the valve cover. Make sure it's not pinched, clogged or leaking.

White smoke usually indicates burning coolant.And it usually smells kinds sweet. Oil is a bluish white, smells of oil and will sometimes leave soot in your exhaust pipe.

Soot is mostly black carbon from burning gasoline, which is a hydrocarbon chemical. The richer your engine runs, the more soot it'll produce. I get a ton of it on my 1GR Tacoma; probably because the A/T likes to keep the RPMs so low it lugs the engine.

On my other N/A MR2, the oil was blowing past the rings so bad, oil droplets were actually present on my rear bumper (unburned). 10k miles later, the engine nearly threw a rod, but I expected it. It was going through 1 quart of oil every 500 miles.
