== NO, defective exhaust manifold gasket will not cause this.
White exhaust smoke is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber. You more than likely as not, have a blown head gasket or cracked head. Stop driving this vehicle until you find out. Look for coolant in the oil, air bubbles escaping from the radiator, and a sweet smell at the exhaust. All indications of serious problems. A compression test will verify if you indeed have a blown head gasket. ==
