Honestly, how does the oil look, do you get white smoke when you first start it up after its been sitting for a while? Only when you get on it? Do a compression/leakdown test.

do a compression test.

drain the oil to see if theres coolant in there.

check the resivoir to see if theres oil in there.

take it to a shop they should be able to do a chemical test to see
if the head gaskets blown.

white smoke means fuel, you are burning fuel ,black or blue smoke means oil or water. you o2 sensor could be going bad or a number of other things that could cause white smoke. you should just do a tune up change sparkplugs, cap rotor wires and fuel filter and It should go away.

Theres a good chance its oil. Oil smoke is blue, but quite often looks very white. If not that then its coolant.
