Blown head gasket
#2
revised, it was not sMOKE it was steam at tail pipe end.
steam there is coolant, smells sweet , not smell like burning oil is a huge clue. (but both are possible if very unlucky)


white smoke can be just PVC clogged,or bad intake valves seals bad sucking in oil like mad.
what tranny here, 5sp M/t that year i bet but if 3speed, no AF50% into the box. and now milky ATF
sorry I am so slow. I will try harder.

the harbor freight , rad pressure leak down tester works great, has hand pump, so stoke it to 20 psi and watch it for not leak down.
no water leaks at passenger toes rug soaked in AF50% antifreezed
no running pure water are you.
new thermostat 7years old or newer?
no oil floating in RAD neck dead cold
no carbon chucks floating same place.

get engine fully hot, even 10 miles hot
park and hood up and look for any leaks. every inch engine/hoses.
new rad cap too. they have a vacuum breaker that can fail. too.
