RE: white smoke out of my exhuast
Lol sounds like someone put ATF in your intake. Good way to clean out your combustion chambers and kill every mosquito in a 10 mile radius. But I wouldn't recommend it if you are not familiar with this procedure. Do you have any brothers or sisters in this shop class? I would go in their room and look for a opened bottle of ATF.

RE: white smoke out of my exhuast
You know, I had the same exact problem. Mine wasn't a head gasket though. If it was a headgasket, check your exhaust pipes, feel for moisture. This is what my problem was, check your power steering fluid. If its low, I bet you got a leak somewhere, and its burning off of your exhaust/motor which is shooting the white smoke all over. Mine would do it in upper rpms and when I was in 5th on the freeway which then it would be intermittent. I just had to buy new power steering hoses and popped those on (a lot of swearing and anger included) and haven't had the problem since. So yea, before you get all buckwild checking compression etc. pop the ol power steering fluid cap off and have a looksie.
