White smoke is water (Steam)
oil burning off is usualy blueish
not sure about yours, but on mine (V1/2 i thiknk) i had the standard coolant header tank, which is plastic. it has a water coolant return pipe from the turbo which gets hot and brittle with age. if it begins to leak, water will run off the top of that tank and drip down on to the drivers side exhaust heat shield under the car.
mine went about a month ago although less steam as i wasnt driving hard at the time
