white smoke-sometimes? 700 1989

You guys are a great help and I just want to say THANKS!!! for the help with the hard shifting problem, I am going to try your suggestions as soon as possible. Now, I have another question, since you guys are such a great help. Her car can be sitting there,idling fine and it will have white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe, the in a few minutes it will stop and later it will start again. Kind of embarassing in a drive-thru. Since I got the turbo rebuilt I have replaced the plug wires,plugs,dist.cap, rotor and all deteriorated vacuum hoses and cleaned the throttle body with spray cleaner, I also cleaned out the entire intercooler system while I had the turbo out to get it rebuilt along with replacing the 175.00 air mass sensor to turbo hose ,which had disintegrated from excessive oil contamination. Also, the car was smoking before all this was done,but it was worse and more frequent. When I replace the dist. cap, it was coated with oil inside, and a lot of arc marks on the rotor ,surprised it was able to run. Any ideas? thanks again!p.s. anyone know where I can get a set of replacement tail-light lenses for this car ?
