Hi guys just wanting to know if my gaskets gone.

When starting the car it takes a while to turn over then finally turns over, a bit of white smoke and bit of water could be condenstation ?

Also when warm and rev slightly chucks a bit of black smoke over fueling i think or valve stem seals ?

the engine cap has a slight bit of muck on it butcould be from just being started and not used?

am i right in thinking if the headgasket gone them compression would be low and water would seep down into the bores therefore no compression ?

Cheers
