Some white smoke in cold wheather is normal, but is will dissipate quickly. If the smoke lingers in air and has a sweet smell, it is coolant and could be a head gasket problem.

Have a compression test performed on all cylinders, if one or more is low, the headgasket is most likely problem, or possibly intake manifold gasket.
