problem: white smoke also smells like coolant is coming out of the exhaust. after a long period of time running the motor perhaps driving somewhere for good amount of time and get to point "B". do what i have to do and wait for about so 5-10mins + and try to start the car and go. it takes a lil work to get it started. (pretty sure the spark plugs are heated up so bad, it wont spark) wont spark to start and after a long... period of time, it will most likely start over heating (thermostat is raising). and coolant is also missing and going somewhere other then making sure the resovior stays full.

people say it may be a blown head gasket or something. is it true?

let me know. pm' or reply here.
