Blue=oil
Black=fuel
White=coolant

The headgasket COULD be the source of the problem.

change the oil see if you have radiator fluid in there (at least I have heard you can do that)...

Same with radiator fluid change it see how its looking or if you keeping running low quickly....

Do a compression test..

Could be a condensation in your catylitc convertor that is just steaming out too. Never know.
