Default cooling problems????????? please help

92 civc cx 1.5d non-vtec...........car is is dumping water/coolant in overflow tank. I replaced the thermostat and temp switch and this is still occuring. When i start the car it runs real rough, blows white/blue smoke like a mother and then goes away. I think i have a blown head gasket, but i am not sure, Any suggestions? Also the water in overflow tank is nasty.
