continuous smoke from exhaust (video)

Guys, over the last couple weeks, my 9000 has developed a smoking problem. Two weeks ago, it started smoking at start-up. Now it is continuous. Some info:
'96 9000 Aero w/ 104k miles
Compression (checked today) 182,176,175,176. Plugs look good (pic below).
Mobil synthetic motor oil
Turbo boosts great
I drive it like an old lady
In addition to the continuous smoke from the exhaust, there is a little smoke coming from where the turbo hooks into the down pipe. There is a white residue there also. The car uses coolant, but very slowly. Also, the check engine light came on today, but possibly because I filled up with 89 octane.
If the compression looks good, does that eliminate the head gasket as the problem?
Is the next step to pressure test the coolant system?
Is the car safe to drive?
Also, I made a video because I couldn't figure out what color the smoke was. It looks white to me. The link is below. Thanks for your time.
