Hello: Is the coolant level low? If so either buy the test unit made to check the radiator for exhaust gases or take to a shop that can test it for you. Sounds like coolant getting in the exhaust.

White smoke coming from my X-Type Jaguar from the back

White smoke from tail pipe normally means you are burning coolant. Could be a blown head gasket. With car running, check for sweet smell from tail pipe, if you do, it's coolant burning. Also see if you have coolant running out of tail pipe. You can also remove spark plugs and see if they look clean or like new. Another indicator that coolant is making it's way into engine cylinders. Could only be going into one of all.

What causes white smoke to come from the tail pipe with strong fumes while in idle?

A heavy presence of white smoke from the tail pipe is usually caused by a bad headgasket. If this gasket is bad, the vehicle may run rough as well as overheat.

Water in oil

Water in oil means the jacket seals are bad. In some cases that happens when the block cracks from very cold temps. Either way you need to have the engine checked by a technician ASAP.

88 thunderbird white smoke and water coming from tail pipe

Possibly a blown head gasket, letting coolant into the cylinders to be burned. White smoke is usually coolant burning. Have the engine's compression tested to verify.

Nissan Sentra 2000 model. Thick White smoke coming out of exhaust

White smoke is caused by coolant or water coming out the tail pipe. There is a chance that the white smoke was caused by water splashing up from a puddle onto the exhaust pipe. Keep an eye on the coolant level in the radiator in any event.

Let us know how it goes or if the problem persists. We're looking forward to how things go for you.
