Question about the 1999 Boxster 986 2.5. Help

Hello everybody. I have a question about the 1999 Boxster 986 2.5. The machine smokes heavily. The engine was repaired, all the pads have been replaced, the cylinders were working. After the repair was a bit of smoke, a week later decided to change the oil. In the morning, after the oil change, the smoke was even more than before the renovation. Oil separator changed. One candle fills with oil. Please advise what to do?).
In the video you can see everything.

You have inspected the oil

for oil/anti-freeze intermix? That smoke is awfully white as opposed to grey/black which you see on oil burners.

That looks pretty normal for a car warming up on a cold day.

You can see the vapor disappearing as the engine warms up.

Unless it smells like oil, it seems okay.

Antifreeze and oil do not mix! Checked!
