White smoke

I just wanted to know you guys opinion on what you think might be wrong with my engine. When the engine is warm I get alot of white smoke and a little bit of water coming out of my exhaust. Blown head gasket? Any info and help would be great. Thanks in advance guys.

How much smoke? It smokes more when you rev the engine? It could be an intake manifold gasket, I had one of those go about a month ago. Easy way to check is to remove each spark plug and see which ones are unusually clean. Try that out and tell us what you find.
