I agree.

I disagree. Water vapor is a normal byproduct of combustion, as evidenced by water dripping from the tailpipe of most cars. White smoke is more than water vapor, it is steam and burned coolant residue.
Don't wait too long to stop the leak, as the coolant in the combustion chamber is not going to do good things to rings and valve seats. It will eventually find its way into the oil lubrication system, with equally not-good results.
