make sure it is not loosing any coolant as a leaking head gasket can cause white smoke check engine breather system is clean check for any damage to intercooler pipes an injector flow test will tell you if an injector is over fueling a cause of white smoke it might be a good idea due to the age of vehicle to have the injectors tested and cleaned
