White smoke from hood

I have an interesting problem. I have been searching around for a while now, and haven't found anyone else with my same symptoms. I just want to know what you all think.
'00 9-5 SE V6 3.0L automatic.
Let me say that I already know I have a dying turbo, I have small puffs of blue smoke on startup and whenever I race the engine. Anyway, recently, whenever I idle my engine after it's warmed up (ie at a stop sign, stop light, etc), my Saab will leak white smoke from the hood. It is accompanied by a burning rubber smell. If I sit there for a couple minutes, the temp gauge will go up slightly, but that only happens rarely. Also, I lose coolant. I don't notice any leaks on the ground, is it burning? If so, why?
One time, after I had turned off the car, I looked underneath and noticed smoke coming from an exhaust pipe.
Also want to say, I don't have chocolate milk oil, I do have a small oil leak, and the car runs seemingly fine otherwise (no loss of HP, up-to-par gas mileage, etc).
I am thinking maybe coolant bypass valve? Or could the turbo be causing this? Maybe my engine is overheating? I don't know! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
