Default 2002 GS 430 engine problems

Today after driving my car on the freeway i was devastated to see a huge white gray smoke cloud appear out of the exhaust the cloud was twice the size of the car i checked the oil and it was a quart low i added oil and drove the rest of the way home now the car pings when i give it gas and there is a good amount of hesitation the rpm's clime very slow and more white gray smoke out of exhaust car has 180,000 miles never overheated no warning lights on i'm new here any idea whats the cause i feel a motor swap in the future.

A quick guess would be a blown head gasket. Have you checked under the car to see if it's leaking any fluids? In any case, it'd be best to start by checking to see what codes the car is showing (if any).
