tons of white smoke!!

I've got a TON of white smoke pouring out the back. It's cool to blast pedestrians with, but it can't be good for the motor. Also, the oil pressure is low. Is this a head gasket? Or something else?
Thanks for the help,
Derf

It is your head gasket most likely.

If not the head gasket it's a cracked block.
On ether, the engine would get hot anyways,park the car quick.
