I would agree with the other guys sounds and looks like head trouble! U would always get a little white smoke on initial start up due to the cold weather, a few things to look at is 1, look for brown sludge in the rocker cover ( water getting into your oil) 2, coolant system pressuring quickly ( leak across the water jackets) 3, do a hydro carbons test there is a liquid tester you can buy which is not expensive the liquid starts of purple and goes green if there is unburnt fuel in the cooling system! If it proves to be head probs get it skimmed but also pressure tested cos you wouldn't see a crack with ur eyes it could only open up when it gets warm! 1.5 ltrs of water is going somewhere!! Normal engine conditions shouldn't loose any! Hope you get it sorted soon
