so i let the car run for like 20 minutes andno coolant loss but white smoke was still coming out when car was fully warmed up, so maybe a blown head? would that explain the coolant loss?

Yup, coolant flowing into the motor and bruning off. Check your overflow and see if there is any black bubbles in it(oil).

Yeah, when it went in my turbo civic I had to drain it out and clean it with brake cleaner cause they stained it. Your oil will look like chocolate milk too.

Just look at the color, if it looks like chocolate milk then yeah there is coolant in there. You will know when you see it, try taking the oil cap off and looking there too.

oil cap had some condinsation but could not tell what color the oil was from in there, the oil has been in the car for like2,500 miles and i checked the dipstick earlier and it had a light brown color to it.

I would think it would be closer to black after 2,500 miles, there might be some coolant in it. Hard to say without seeing it.

ok so update, no white smoke when i started it up this time, car is dripping it out alot like i had a puddle after 5 minutes of running, that might be normal though. Also no black bubble from what i could see in the oil. i could also not get a good picture of the oil color on the dipstick so heres how it looks on a white towel though.

hard to tell from a picture. one way i found out my **** was fucked was besides lookin at the oil was i took a jug of oil and washed it out really good and when i drained my oil, i put the oil into it. i let it sit for a day and the oil and coolant separated. also if your oil looks really runny and not thick yea, coolant is in it

Water from the exhaust is just moisture, or is it coming out more than usual?
