Hi there,
First you must determine if it is smoke or steam.
Most of the time, condensation builds up in the exhaust and causes steam to come out the exhaust pipe when the vehicle is running. Hot exhaust gasses in a cold wet exhaust pipe, produces steam. If this is the case, then it is perfectly normal.
If white smoke is present, it can usually be an extremely blown headgasket or a significant turbo failure, either of these would cause your vehicle to barely run in the process.
