White smoke can also be the result of unburnt fuel hitting the cats and vaporizing. If you oil doesn't look like chocolate milk and your car isn't overheating or loosing coolant, check to see if you can hear a gurgling/boiling sound inside your cats. Boiling gas under your ass is a scary proposition. Raw, unburnt gas will wash down the cylinder walls, corrode your piston rings and essentially trash your engine. You'll know for sure if that is the case if you happen to see a bluish tint to the white smoke coming out of the exhaust. That would indicate oil is leaking past the piston rings into the cylinders and getting burnt.
