Black smoke is oil burning, white smoke is coolant leaking. You have a coolant leak and most likely its at your coolant pump.. Pray for hose leak b/c the pump can be costly..

if your water pump is leaking it can't get into ur exhaust

how is your coolant level, has it gone down? does your overflow bottle have water bubbling out of it?

blue smoke = combusted oil (burnt oil usually compression rings)
white smoke = fresh non combusted oil (valve seals generally)
white smoke also = water

do a block check, local garage should be able to do this for you
also a compression check

white smoke on a cold morning can also be normal... condensation in the exhaust

keep an eye on it and let us know if it worsens
