OK, you're killing me with the lack of information. Walk us through a daily occurrence of the "smoking" is it blue only at start up, while driving, when cold/hot. When is it white? How often does this occur? Any driveability issues? The more info you can give us, the better we can help you out

It could be a lot of different things. You probably have to wait for it to get worse before a fault code will register.
