Smoke from car
Does the smoke smell like burnt oil, do you have oil spots on the floor where you park your car, is the coolant level going down, how does the oil look on the dip stick, normal or does it look like you have water in it?
Check these things and see what you find.

Are you using Walmart Oil, or using 87 octane gas ,l or changing the oil every 15,000 miles no matter how many years it takes you ,like so many people here suggest?

Common for the oil pressure sensor to leak and drip on exhaust. Is the oil pressure reading normal oil pressures 28-40 PSI??
Look for drips on floor and inspect at area and trace the oil leak.
