Thats coolant smoke, put your hand in it and see if it's getting wet...

it probably just happened, since you've only now seen it, so there may not be enough coolant getting into the oil to foul it up...

try opening your radiator cap and revving then engine while watching... see if exhaust bubbles are getting into the coolant...

probably just a bad head gasket, could even be bad to where the "crack/channel" in the head gasket is going from a coolant run to the cylinder directly...

pull the spark plugs and see if they're wet...
