White Smoke?

White Smoke?
Ah, well car is starting to give out white smoke. Can't really tell cause it's night time, but it looks like it's coming from the exhaust. Coolant level is good and did a oil change maybe about two weeks ago. Has a certain smell, but can't tell what it is...
The white smoke becomes more obvious while at idle but also comes out while driving...
Any ideas?

Head gasket, or oil can be over filled causing this issue but since you changed your own oil i doubt its over filled. Im leaning more towards the head gasket has gone bad, how many miles are on your car and what year was it manufactured?

If you continue to drive your car,Put some coolant in your radiator immediately. If it goes on through ,don't drive your car. You will melt the engine! It could be a number of things to cause it. But,the time to do something is now,not later. It could already be to late for you. I had this happen to me.Your engine is made out of aluminum & that's why it will melt. If it has melted already,it will be really expensive to get fixed.

You just put too much oil in after your oil change. Even a quarter of a quart will cause smoke out the exhaust. I just changed the oil in my race car and over filled it a tad bit and I was blowing white smoke big time. It's just because of too much oil. You'll be fine. Just don't over fill it next time.

Took the car out for a small drive today...
White smoke seems to be coming out even more. But now that I look at it, it seems to be coming out from under the car instead of the exhaust. Smokes a trail while driving, so I just took my dad's Tundra for the rest of the day.
Any ideas of what can be the problem?
Gonna check the oil level tomorrow and turbo shaft play.

Well recently I haven't had time to check things out myself lately. But I did check the oil level today, and it was pretty low. I thought that could've been one of the factors of why its's smoking so much. Filled it up and took it for a small drive, and its still smoking.
So I just brought it by to a reputable shop nearby and dropped it off. I get a call a few hours later, saying they checked the turbo, did compression tests, etc. and everything with the turbo is fine.
They say the problem is something with the motor
Haven't got much details yet, but I hope its nothing too big.
