Need more info on your driving patterns, the density & duration of the smoke.

Do a compression test. If you're good, it'll probably be that you live in a moist area. If not, there it is.

I've had cars that produce white smoke for days, weeks, months, years. I think it's driving patterns. A friend bought one cheap because "it always smoked and was getting worse and the mechanic said ..." His driving was mostly highway and we never saw the smoke. That was years ago.

If the compression is good and you're not losing coolant, just drive it and see.
