check the oil to see if you have water mixed up with the oil. It would like kind of milky.

White smoke = coolant burning = head gasket

yeah white smoke is water/coolant, blue-ish looking smoke is oil... like they said, its most likely the head gasket... you may wanna change it before it gets any worse.

Hell ya , pull the head off and replace the gasket and that should stop the problem. Cause if you keep it like that for a long time your car will start over heating and then you will be deep shit.
