Is it possible for a head gasket to go bad before blowing?
Yes. A blown headgasket usually causes the engine to run noticeably different and needs immediate attention. However, A head gasket that is going BAD may let oil or coolant leak out around the outside of the head (just a wet looking spot at first) where the head touches the block. Also, a slight bit of oil might show up around the inside of the radiator where the radiator caps seals. Also, a slight bit of coolant might leak into the engine causing it to look greyish white on the dip-stick. The problem with finding a BAD head gasket is that it might not get any worse for five years, or it might "blow" in 5 minutes.

Two things can cause white smoke. 1. Burning oil either from bad rings,bad valve seals,bad head gasket 2. Coolant getting into the combustion chamber through cracked head,block or bad head gasket. This can be checked by putting a preasure tester on the coolant system and doing a leakdown test to see if it will hld pressure. Also go to the tail pipe and smell the fumes. Anti freeze usually emits a sweet smell. Are you addding oil or coolant frequently? If so the one you are adding most is usually the culprit
