If it smells sweet its antifreeze and a bad head gasket. Retorque the head and see if it fixes the problem. if it doesn't, get the gasket done at an indie for $600.
If it is oil smoke as described by the previous post, you most likely have a failing turbo charger. I removed mine and had it rebuilt and re-installed it myself for about $370. Make sure your oil lines are clear of obstruction and that your oil pickup tube screen is not clogged.
Retorque the head anyway. it needs done every 50K.
Not related to your smoke but have you replaced the fuel pump yet? It will fail you so pay close attention to it if it is slow to fire on a cold start. The pump costs $570.
This has been my recent experience. I hoipe this shortens the learning curve for you.
