possible blown head gasket
 
I had a overheat issue when a coolant hose came off and didn't know it and ran all the coolant out and possibly drove around 5 miles and when I got the engine was steaming so now the engine runs great but is hard to start when warm and also when I remove the radiator cap and start the coolant pushes out but pulls down when I race the engine and goes back up when I let off and also has a small amount of white smoke When first started but clears up, so what do you guys think.

No Not yet atleast, the oil in new and just looks like new oil.

if it was a blown head gasket there would be white smoke the whole time... keep checking the oil daily to c if its becoming a milk chocolate color...if it does get it to a shop

what about when i take the radiator cap off with the car running and the coolant pushes out the top, is that a sign of exhaust getting into the cooling system?
