sounds like head gasket

RE: Water in Oil and exhaust with white smoke!
really depends on how bad its leaking, i wouldn't doubt it but still hard to determine.
i thought i blew my headgasket when i saw the white smoke. infact i was sure the motor was blown or damaged badly. i had it towed to my mechanic and he said all that was broken was the thermostat (cracked) and it sent coolant EVERYWHERE. i mean everywhere... when i opened the hood, coolant was dripping from the heat shield and i even got some on me.
course i was going around 130mph when it happend...
anyway goodluck man. if you can't figure out get a second pair of eyes over there with you. i think your best bet would be to start unbolting and check the heads/gaskets

Do cylinder leak test to check for head gasket leak. If all is okay on leakage test, then most likely intake gasket.
