water vapor is normal in small amounts from the exhaust, especially when it's cold out.
There is no "sump tank". many people refer to the oil pan as a sump, if that's what you are thinking of, being low on oil would not cause white smoke, unless you had NO oil, and burned up teh motor.

Seriously - like the said - white is water. Blue is oil.
White at start up can be moisture in the exhaust system. If it is while you are running - could be a leak in the head or somewhere else in the cooling system
