1.) check your coolant level.

2.) do a compression test.

3.) watch your engine temperature gauge.

4.) smell smoke, determine if it smells "sweet" or not.

Thick white smoke is coolant, wispy bluish smoke is oil, black smoke is fuel and soot.

Also, I suggest you change your signature before I have you banned for using profanity there. It's a rule stated very plainly in the TOS at the top of every forum. Please refrain from doing so.

White smoke = water, antifreeze
Black smoke = too much fuel
Blue smoke = burning oil
