ahmed shah, because you have a turbo on your car, this tells me you have the diesel engine. Having white smoke come out of a diesel is normally a sign that the engine is running lean. So, this would tell me that odds are you have an injector that is sticking when the engine is cold and one cylinder is not getting the fuel it needs. This is where a mechanic will be able to test the injectors and tell you which one is your problem. the only possibility is if you are getting coolant into the cylinder. But, this would be characterized by 1) having a sweet smell coming from the exhaust as soon as the car is started up, and 2) your overflow bottle would need to be refilled periodically (say once a week) due to the level perpetually dropping. if this is the case, then a mechanic would most likely be needed to do a compression test of each cylinder to find the leaking one and hopefully it can be fixed with a simple gasket replacement.
