Default S2000 Exhuast Problem

Today i planned to change my oil but when i tried to start the car to get rolling and have the fluids moving i found that my battery died out on me. I had no clue what was goin on but after not driving the car for about 3 weeks i guess something happened(gotta change battery). After i got it jump started i let it idle for about 8min where large clouds of white smoke came out of my exhuast. I dont know what the hell went wrong so i shut it down and after 10min or so i took it for a drive around the block and everytime i shifted i saw the streets filled with smoke in my rear view. Anybody know whats happening

i know think it could have been an overfill, underfill maybe. i was little below in the midrange and the oil has only 3000miles on it.

White smoke could be a leaky or old valve cover gasket. Oil getting into the plugs and burning off.

Burnt oil wouldn't be white smoke.
