If it's white smoke then it's water .... head gasket.

Valve Oil Stem Seals results in oil being burnt ....

Is it using water or overheating? White smoke can be oil burning, if the oil is passing into the exhaust side of the turbo it tends to vapourise in the extreme heat & come out as White smoke. However you'd be unlucky to have 3 faulty turbos so perhaps you should start checking out the head gasket.
