Could a minor front-end accident result in a blown head gasket?

No, a minor fender-bender will not cause a head gasket to go unless the engine overheated. Typically, the only thing that will cause a blown head gasket is a warped head which is typically caused by overheating or occasionally by poorly torqued head bolts. Recognize that U.S. engines tend to be far more resistant to head warping while foreign engines tend to be a little more fragile.

Can water pump out cause white smoke?
no, that is usually an engine oil problem. White smoke is usually the result of burning engine coolant. Blue smoke is from burning engine oil and black smoke is excess fuel (flooding). So, burning engine coolant is usually the result of a blown head gasket and/or a cracked head. A blown head gasket and /or a cracked head can be the result of a severely over heated engine. An over heated engine could be the result of a faulty water pump. So, the answer to your question could be yes.

It could be either a bad gasket or a warped head. Either way, the gasket is going to be replaced.See "Related Questions" below for more
