RE: white smoke

Head gasket or your head has a problem. Did you run it hot or over heat?

RE: white smoke

check your oil to see if it looks really bubbly. if your headgasket is gone your oil will most likely look like a frothy capuccino

RE: white smoke

also the oil MAY be white, not always, and if it is the head, you will probably have low oil pressure

Your better off with a head gasket than water pump issue.
