Default Update... white smoke coming out of radiator

In my last post I explained how my car was in an engine fire. I have since repaired the damage and the car runs. When I first drained the oil, it came out milky brown. I put new oil and coolant in it, started it, and let it warm up to operating temperature. I then turned it off and noticed there is white smoke coming from the radiator, however there is NO FAN on at the time. I checked the dipstick and the oil still looks clean, no sign of coolant mixed in it. Should I let it run longer and see if the oil becomes milky brown again? Or should I just proceed to pull the head and check the headgasket and check the head for warpage?
