possible head gasket question
I bought a 03 cobra a couple of months ago and i now notice when i start it up there is alot of white smoke that gets better when the car is warmed up, but when i first start it if i rev the engine it will puff lots of white smoke, i first thought it was just condensation but i'm getting worried about it. Now, i have no water in the oil and my coolant was just a little low but its now really getting any lower, after i first got the car i did notice it dripped some coolant on the ground but that was the only time it has ever done it and i never did find the leak,what do you guys think of this situation? also meant to add that the car idling the temp will get to 200 then the fans come on but at hwy speeds the car runs anywhere from 135 to 155 degrees.

i do have an o/r x pipe, once the car has warmed up or after a short drive it will not do it, I don't have any real reason that it could be a head gasket except for the smoke, there is no overheating or coolant in the oil. I hope i'm just being paranoid but i'm keeping my eye on the coolant too see if its loosing any. Is there anything else I can do to test the gasket?
