Default question about white smoke

my car still smokes out white smoke when im at a light or idling. its not a cracked intake manifold, its not a gasket, i dont burn any coolant or any lose of it. i changed the spark plugs to autolite double platinum. the only thing that i think it could be is a slightly leaking head gasket, could that be it, i mean i ran out of options and im stump. the car feels like it has full power, and both the tail pipes smell like raw gas.. anyone please help....

check your rear tranny seal...they tend to leak on the cats which creates the white smoke.

Is the smoke acually coming out of the tailpipes or just the side of the car

That would lead me to believe that you have a seeping head gasket on that side of the engine.

Do a compression test and see if you have lower numbers somewhere on cylinders 1 - 4.
