white smoke is usually burning coolant, or if it was raining could be steam.

check your radiator for any kind of puncture or rupture in it that would release coolant. Check your hoses, and as jug said check the water pump too.

If you can't find where the leak is coming from, have a shop perform a pressure check on the coolant system. Any leak, if there is one, will spit out because of the pressure. I hope it's a hose, because that's the cheapest way out!

hah check fluid levels. Either check them and then check them again after it smokes and see if any of them are considerably lower or fill them all up and then check see which dropped
