Is it only when you start it after you leave it sit for a while or only see it when under boost?

White-ish smoke is a tell tale sign that there is oil leaking through some part of your motor it really shouldn't be, such as a turbo.....
If you absolutely must drive it, take it straight to a workshop for diagnosis. Otherwise, I wouldn't drive too far on it, especially under boost

If you **MUST** drive it please follow these rules:
1. check oil before & after every drive 2. re-read #1 If it's the turbo (exhaust side) seal saying bye bye......be prepared to tow it when it fails completely.... you'll know,it'll smoke like a biatch and rapidly drain the sump! also check coolant.....could be a head gasket on it's way too. I'd play safe and not drive it unless I absolutely had to.
