White Smoke Coming Out of A/C Vents

Once again, I am in existential pain with my 2017 Hyundai Elantra.

About a year ago, had several tubes leaking coolant, with that sweet syrupy smell having given away the issue. A thousand dollars or so later, all fine.

Had spark plugs and ignition coils go bad earlier this year, another grand, it is what it is.

But now, I got white smoke/fog coming out, ever so slightly, and I doubt it was condensation because there was a faint smell of oil coming out from the vents (my sense of smell isn't the best, I had to get close and sniff the vents to detect the oil smell).

So what's the likely issue here? Oil leak into my cooling system perhaps? Needing a whole new gasket or car??

I JUST finished paying off the last car repair was placed me in horrible debt, and was starting to have hope of starting my life again when this hit, lol
