Could be a head gasket fail, looking at your picture your car is 2000-2003? The early T-Sport engines were known for oil pump failure, have you maintained your engine correctly over the years? Also drop the sump and look at the oil pick up, if it's clogged or has gunge on it your engine could be completely buggered

Most of us would try 4oz of seafoam then drive 100 miles or something to see if maybe the rings were gummed up next to the pistons allowing oil to leak by. Are you sure that its white smoke? Usually oil leaking out the back is blue smoke. Then there's valve repair stuff, head gasket repair stuff, or ring repair stuff that you could try before going for a new motor or a rebuild.
