Default smoking and blowing wet suet(sp) out tail pipe

I have siphoned and refilled oil and cleaned and regapped(way off) the plugs. I am now getting alot less smoke(I think is white, working in dark with led flashlight,might be blue). when revving the motor I am getting a good bit of splatter coming out the exhaust. It is condensation(normal) mixed with suet. More than I have ever noticed before. I believe my problem,causing the suet, may be the cat. The smoke.... I think head gasket.

The car idles great and putting out very light smoke at idle. When you rev/accelerate the smoke thickins.

If you're getting white smoke, it sounds like head gasket.

Check your oil for water/coolant.

i haven't drained the oil yet. That will be tomorrow. i did siphon a little out into clear jug and didn't see any water(bubbles) or milkyness(coolant). The coolant is still full in the radiator.

I warmed up the motor and let it idle. The smoke I am seeing looks more white than anything else but it is pretty cold tonight so, I don't know if that is having something to do with it. It is idling a little low(about 550-600rpm). But the idle is very steady and it is running pretty smoothly.
