Default White Smoke

First off i hadn't driven my car in about 2 weeks, when i took it on the freeway i saw a LOOT of white smoke coming out, whenever i was in the low RPMs i believe. Does anyone have an idea of whats going on with my baby? (Its a stock motor btw, D16Y8)

Any help would be great.

are you sure it was smoke? Could it have possibly been vapor, any odd smell comming from the tailpipe?

prolly alot of moisture in the oil. what does the oil look like? does the coolent look normal? we need a few more details to help you more. you should also do a quick compression test while your at it. it's a really simple test if you have the tools and compression tester

Yeah, you ruptured your headgasket. Get it fixed before you grenade your motor. If you have a Helms manual it shouldn't take any more than an afternoon.
