Oil smoke ranges from gray to bluish white. Water is cloud white. Check your pcv valve, too... Not responsible for advice not taken...

Mine will smoke while idling with no load on the engine. If you put it in gear it stops. Re: oil-leak + white smoke on start up - Another 2.6L Head Removal?

Cut the smoke down by about 30%. I was able to blow through the old one only after a strong breath (and getting a little oil in my mouth) and it was evident it was pretty gunked up. Still looking into replacing the head since I'd probably pull it to replace the valve stem seals. I like the idea of loosing the jet valves and starting fresh with a new head, valves, and cam. Also I like pulling things apart.
