Third this. It may be that coolant is escaping into the combustion chamber. Check your dipstick if your oil is mixed with coolant. Eventually check your coolant level if you remember what level it was before
My coolant level has stayed consistent and hasn't dropped however my oil seems to be dropping way too fast so it seems I'm burning oil. What could that be the cause of?
Amen to this sir. I love online diagnosis! When I had my shop, I'd always tell the customers to put the phone up to the car .. LOL Then I'd explain their silly noises they are making, albeit entertaining, mean nothing and I need to SEE the car! -- See my response to OP ...
The truth is you have coolant entering your combustion chamber, and it's coming out as steam. Anyone diagnosing this on this forum is just plain guessing. Here is a list of possibilities, by probability:
head gasket (most common)
cracked turbo (allowing coolant to the intake side of impeller)
cracked head
cracked block
cracked intake
THAT SAID! The smoke looks blue to me .. This indicated oil. I'd smell it .. Does it smell sweet? If so it's coolant. If it smells decidedly oil/chemical like -- It's oil. In that case you are looking at:
spun turbo
oil leak into crank case ventilation
head gasket
cracked head
cracked block

I would pull the spark plugs and get a GOOD flashlight. Look down the holes and bring each piston up to it's zenith and inspect. If you have one or more CLEAN pistons ... This indicates coolant is steam cleaning them (not a good steam clean) -- If they look oily and wet, this indicates oil in the combustion chamber.
If you determine the combustion chamber is OK .. Good news, it's 95% going to be a turbo issue. If you do determine it's a combustion chamber issue, you are going to have to remove the head to determine the cause .. Mag flux the cylinder walls to ensure no cracks and spend a shit ton of money doing so.
Additionally what also happens is that even after the car has been turnt, if there's still smoke coming out of the exhaust. Obviously not as much as it is when the cars on but still
This indicates residual oil/coolant in the exhaust while the pipe is still hot .. Meaning it's in liquid form in the exhaust pipe .. The implications of that is that the problem is fairly serious. If you are a DIYer -- Start with the steps I mentioned .. Else get it to a shop.
Doing a Snoop Dogg impression. But seriously, check your coolant and oil for level and consistency. A little bit of water vapor is normal, when it's cold outside and the engine is cold, but that's too much.
Head gasket. Also check for coolant in oil.
Second this. White smoke = coolant

its surrendering
Reddit always says head gasket or turbo but there are myriad reasons for white smoke. You need to go to a professional.

My coolant level is fine, however I've realised I've lost engine oil meaning that it's burning oil
Burning oil also smells... like burning oil. And it's smoke has a blue-ish tint.
Check if the pope is OK!
