Leaking Coolant

Alrighty here, i dont have a clue whats goin on with my car but its not running right. Whenever it gets hot out i lose coolant its not going out the overflow hose and i think its goin in the motor. White smoke comes out the exhaust. so im thinking it could be leaking into the intake?????
Any help would be great!!!!

Your supercharger coolant is low or your engine coolant?

That white smoke would worry me, I say take that into the dealer (assuming you dont have warranty voiding stuff!)
Any mods?

edit-- Yeah I'm a *******, anyways, have you modified the intercooler system at all?

Yeah thats the only thing i can think of and there isnt really a way to tell if its leaking, There isnt much you can see inside there.
