Yesterday, I noticed my oil levels dropping fast and white smoke coming off under/behind engine. There is also a large pool of oil under the passenger side of the car. The oil pan seems fine. Here are some pictures I took.

white smoke is most likely head gasket and maybe you have an oil leak there too. Would make sense if you are leaking oil when driving because the pressure would build up causing the oil to leak at a weak spot in the gasket. I would go to a garage and have them check your cooling system pressure as well as pour in an oil dye to see where it's leaking. It would really help as I did that myself and got an answer the same day.
