car wont start

hey guys well today i was trying to figured out why my friends car wouldnt start. i check the plus and one of them was real oily from the tip (inside the head) so then we change the plugs and the car wouldnt start put if we gave it gas it will start and run weird, also blows out white smoke from the exhaust. ones we let go of the gas pedal the car turns off does anyone know why??? im think its a head gasket but not to sure. my friends has a 95 civic hatch

sounds like the headgasket. open up the radiator cap and try to start the car, if the antifreeze shoots out then u have a blown headgasket or you can go ahead and do a compression test

or a leak down test might help too.
