I've had oil smoke white in most of my vehicles so sometimes it's hard to tell.
yup, white smoke is usually a bad head gasket
i was told that if you smell the fumes and its kinda sweet then its time to replace the head gasket (agian this is just hear say)

is there white smoke all the time ot just on warm up ??
cuz if its just on warm up then its normal, cuz the temp. is getting colder it just takes some time for your cat and exh to warm up
