Noises problem

There is whistling sound to front-passenger side of the car where the air pump is.. Also when I start the car after restinng for a couple hours a white smoke comes out of the exhaust. I was wondering if thats oil buring ... or because the pump needs to be replace. And when the ignition is on after awhile it starts idle high and the whisling sound goes after when it starts idling high...alsio there kinda a short delay in power when I want o wwclerate.. Help me please
