Well white smoke is usually coolant. Your head gasket may be on its way out. That's the only way It's gonna go into the combustion chamber.

well you said it burns a quart of oil a week. to me that is A LOT. and since it does not smoke under power, i would say valve stem seals are bad. time for a top end rebuild.
