Sounds like a blown head gasket, after warm up is there still white smoke coming out of your exhaust? that would be a sign of it ie your burning moisture I say after it warms up because moisture condensates when the car cools down. Worst case scenario is a cracked block in which case the engine is shot. Throw a big bottle of aluminum stop leak in there and see if it helps, then trade in the car

If there is water in the crankcase, it's all over. That means that the top and bottom are done. To be precise, the oil journals on the crank are wiped. In any event, it will probably not turn over and that means it is hydrostatically locked

What kind of vehicle is it? We need more info!
It's probably coolant coming out of the plugs.
If it's a GM vehicle (Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, etc) with a 3.8L V-6, you probably need a new intake manifold. That symptom is unbelievably common on that motor.
