white smoke - water - head gasket
blue smoke - oil
black smoke - fuel

not funny guys ... lol ... yeah generally white smoke is a sign of a blown head gasket but it could be even a bad intake manifoldgasket. It could be just condensation. Go to a radiator shop and ask if they can do a blue water test to check for exhaust gas coming through the exhaust passages.
