White smoke is burning coolant no ifs ands or buts. Most likely a cracked head. Then as it warms up the metal expands and pushes the crack together and slows the leak. Check online for new heads. The cracked head will not be taken for a core. Be sure to use your VIN and any numbers off the block to be sure you get the correct heads the first time.

Like Charles said you never use just water. Anti freeze is also coolant. Water boils before the coolant will. It also lubricates as it goes so your pumps and seals last as well as prevents corrosion.
