Get a conpression test done to rule out the head gasket, as Adam says, its burning water
Theres no smoke when in start up adam i noticed too the water from the reserve coolant was lost so where did it go? I always fill the reserve coolant full then after for about 2 hrs run its already half
I do have a cold start
But i cant figure it out why it occurs ocassionally im thinking of turbine or valve seal it gives me a headache
Some other suggestions would be the two may be unrelated - occasional white smoke does not equal losing half coolant reserve tank in 2 hrs.
If you are low on oil , coolant can get very hot and leak out of a weak point on coolant pipes etc. If pipes are ok see above comments. ( if you run coloured and sented coolant you should be able to locate a leak. )
Occasional white smoke is usually humidity condensing in the exhaust , slow head gasket leak or water of combustion. With your location I would say humidity.
Check when it happens eg after rain.
.....Unless you have a slow gasket leak at low revs that becomes a faster one at higher revs.

like others have said get a compression test done, with the amount of coolant you are loosing and the amount of white smoke its pointing towards headgasket

sounds like a cracked head... you may need to slim the head and inspect the block
