Head gasket smoke is only white if it goes between a waterway and the cylinder, it would be blue smoke if it goes between the oliway and the cylinder.

get a compression test done

and do a wet/dry test too, as that will also help to tell if its head gasket, or piston rings

well im pretty sure its the head gasket as there is creamy white stuff where the water has gone into the oil and theres no water left in the tank. Also it just lost all power in the middle of driving. the nwhen i tried to start it up again it was blue smoke.
