A blown head gasket could allow coolant to enter the combustion chamber from the water jacket. The coolant probably is running out the exhaust on first start-up. More often, you will notice the coolant being pumped out of the overflow as the exhaust gas pressurizes the coolant. You should look for this symptom when the engine warms up.
Coolant in the exhaust on start-up and then the coolant overpressure overflow from the expansion tank or radiator happening together is almost sure indication of the head gasket failure.

You have to check if you have Anti-freeze in the radiator, make sure you check when the car is cold not hot! If Anti-freeze is not present make sure you do not have a leak. If Anti-freeze is present then it most likely is your thermostat which should only run you $20 to fix. Good Luck
