White smoke indicates coolant is burning in the combustion chamber-are you overheating or temperature gauge acting funny?

Its been a couple of weeks and its still smoking. Water level is still at the same spot haven't added any. When stopped let's out very little but when I begin to accelerate it blow a big cloud of white smoke. I'm pretty sure its not vapor.

Pull the oil dipstick and smell for gas and also where's the oil level if its above the full mark-white smoke indicates coolant is burning but could be a tranny fluid and brake fluid if there's leakage at the tranny vacuum modulator and brake booster.
