Blown head gasket
No. White smoke is a symptom of coolant entering the combustion chamber. Stop driving the car and have it looked at by a professional. Serious engine damage will occur if it is indeed coolant in the combustion chamber and you continue to run the engine.
It can be nothing more than condensation when you first start the engine. But it may be more serious. White smoke from the exhaust can be a sign that coolant is entering the combustion chamber. Normally this would indicate a blown head gasket, but on some vehicles where the coolant flows through the intake manifold, it can indicate a blown intake gasket. Bottom line is, that if, coolant is entering the combustion chamber, you must find out from where. Are you loosing coolant, even a small amount? If you indeed have coolant entering the combustion chamber it will cause engine damage.It can be nothing more than condensation when you first start the engine. But it may be more serious.

Coolant will enter the combustion chamber and get into the oil pan. This will cause severe wear of internal engine components very quickly.
I know the white smoke would be caused by coolant, which would be leaking into the combustion chamber.
Coolant in the combustion chamber, normally caused by a blown head gasket.
It is possible but it depends on where the crack is. If the crack is from the combustion chamber out, such as through a coolant passage it can also suck in coolant/antifreeze and loose compression.
No. White smoke is coolant entering the combustion chamber. You more than likely have a blown head gasket.
No, white exhaust smoke is a symptom of coolant entering the combustion chamber. You my have a blown head gasket.
White smoke from the exhaust is a sign of coolant entering the combustion chamber. Usually a blown head gasket or cracked head. STOP driving the car immediately. Severe engine damage will occur if you continue to run this engine. Sounds like steam......you may be getting coolant into the combustion chamber.
Without more investigation, the first probable cause would be a Head or Intake gasket leak. Allowing the coolant to seep into the combustion chamber and evaporating out the Exhaust
Coolant will enter the combustion chamber. This will cause serious engine damage. Your Catalitic converter & O2 Sensors will also be ruined. STOP driving this vehicle until you have this repaired.
The Gaseous buildup inside of the internal combustion chamber would cause engine failure, the engine to blow, and explode litterally
