Then you may be just burning off condensation in the exhaust system, but usually that doesn't make a huge cloud.
If your 2000 hasn't ever had any PCV work done, the PCV kit #6 (55561200) as available from your dealer or site sponsor is the way to go as it replaces just about everything PCV related except for two hoses and a check valve that may or may not want to be replaced. Regardless of what your problem is, you probably want this kit done.
Bad turbo will show up as blue oily smoke and lots of oil in the intake pipe downstream of the turbo.
Bad head gasket will make white sweet smelling smoke, possibly oil in coolant or coolant in oil, loss of coolant, possibly oil leaks.
