i didnt have any smoke for 2 weeks, but my temperature fluctuated a lot. it'd overheat if i ever stepped on the gas full throttle. eventually the head gasket blew.

i have the same issue. except mines will smoke either white or blue, just during startup. As soon as im driving the smoke goes away. My water, and oil levels are always good, and i dont overheat. Any help for Saga and Me??
