Possibly a head gasket :confused:

How do I check or find out that it might be the head gasket aside from pulling the motor apart?

Thank you :)

Check oil for coolant contamination and vice/versa. Remove oil filler cap on valve cover and check for white/brown residue. If so, coolant might have mixed with oil. Can your engine keep temps down easily or does it overheat. Also an indication for gasket trouble.

White smoke? Couldn't it be the catalytic converter gone bad also?
