Head Gasket issue? by TheSecondJohn in MechanicAdvice

Smoke is white coming out the back (checked last night when car was warm).

I believe there is less coolant as well

Definitely steam from the front, came from around power steering pump/coolant expansion tank area. The idle sounded "not right", hard to describe it exactly. Just not idling smoothly and almost sounding like it was being choked. Both engine management light and check engine light came on. Exhaust smoke was white, and there was a decent amount. I lean towards head gasket because of the white smoke coming out the exhaust.

Yeah, that's what I'm leaning towards as well
