Default Headgasket leaking?

I think my headgasket is going up, just becuase I dont know what else it could be. The other day I noticed a small amount of white smoke out of my exhaust, it was such a small amount I thought it was just condensation. Then yesterday I was backing up with my windows down, and smelled coolant. The car does not burn even a drop of oil, and the oil looks fine, but the coolant is low. Is a leaky headgasket the only possibility?

Coolant going thru the Cyl head makes for a huge white smokescreen.. no misstaking it.
Best would be to wait and watch.. little real damage untill it starts losing coolant appreciably and /or the oil starts getting contaminated.
