So I just started up my car today and I havent driven it for about a month and a half, but I do start it from time to time. Once I start it up this crap comes leaking out (pictured below), and quite a bit. While I drove out of my driveway it left a trail behind me. My exhaust has been making quite a bit of white/grey smoke lately. My exhaust setup is just a stock vx piping up to a z6 header (no cat at all). So with this info what could be wrong? Do I have a blown headgasket?

the pic is kind of fuzzy, hard to tell if it's oil and cooalnt or just water and rust that builds up when the car is fisrt started.

op, is it oily? if you are getting smoke out of your exhaust, it's not a good sign.

Well that certainly looks like an antifreeze oil mix, start it up and look for it leaking at the block/head.

Someone must have been playing music with your rev limiter while you weren't driving it for that month and a half.

Just come to think, I just recently replaced my muffler with a stock one from an EK at the junkyard that is quite rusty, and I also painted it flat black so the grey could be paint...

Also I just checked my oil and there is no coolant in it, and there is no coolant/oil leaking from between the blockand the head.

So it's coming out of the tail pipe? (I assumed it was coming out at a flange because you called it a leak.)

Looks like an oily coolant mixture. Definatly a potential sign of a busted head gasket.
Also looks like barf... hard to see, kinda blurry.

Yeah it runs good, just a high idle that bounces between 1200-2200 rpm because I'm running the vx 5 wire o2 sensor on my p28 (instead of 4 wire) and I'm running a auto p28 on my 5 speed so I get CEL's for those.
