What does it smell like does it burn your eyes? Does it go through coolant at all?

White smoke is water, not oil. Oil is blue, fuel is black.....

AAAaaaaaaaa......If it's coolent the rad. level will go down and you will have to add more, same-O, same-O, oil.
So if your NOT having to add water or oil then it has to be fuel. Get a scan and have the thing tuned!!!! I wouldn't think water vapor would be a problem in Florida in Aug.

Looking at the vid again, I think it's oil. Fuel would be a lot blacker...

Have you done a leakdown test of any kind?
