All tell-tale signs of a blown head gasket. The visible leak is the white smoke coming out of the exhaust... that's where your coolant is going.

That DEFINITELY didn't help. Not going to have getup for long if you keep that up.


My advice if you plan on keeping the car: Don't even turn the motor over again; pull the head and hope the gasket is all you're replacing but be prepared to replace the head as well, after having a machine shop check it out.

Good luck.
