smoke? white probably from exhaust
i pull home and look in my rear view i see smoke rising, white to be exact at nighttime
got out took a look didnt see any blue but it was dark out,
im going to look it over tomorrow and see if it still is smoking and the color
what do i do to fix the problem of my car smoking?
pvc?> headgasket? a valve? gasket?
help i also felt like the car ran bad at a low speed, like 5mph starting and stoping, a little rough

Well sometimes White smoke can be oil buring. If its really thick white smoke and smells like buring coolant and ur car runs like *** then its burning coolant and its probably ur headgasket. See if u can go smell the smoke and see what it smells like.

it has to be the start of the headgasket cuz theres not much smoke at all compared to my friends but theres a amount, to see
when i checked my oil i saw no bubbles when motor was cool , then i check it after driving for 2 minutes and there are bubbles which one is more accurate check?

oil doesn't usually burn white, it sounds like a possible headgasket to me as well... did you overheat the car at some point?
i'm rusty on this, but i'm gonna throw some random stuff out here... i think that most service stations can run a pressure test on the coolant system, and look for leaks that way... also, let it sit for a couple of days, then pull the dipstick out and examine it, if there is a layer of white on top of the oil it could be coolant getting into the oil via the blown headgasket.
