If it's a blown head gasket, either way will be bad for the car. If you're leaking oil into the coolant, it will cause the car to over heat. If you're leaking coolant into the oil, well, you can see where that's going. Check the oil and coolant to see if either one is contaminated. The oil will look milky, and the coolant will have a residue in it.

White smoke in the exhaust?

Do a compression test and a leak down and you will find where the problem is located.

If theres white smoke coming from the exhaust and its below 40 degrees and you posted this when you are drunk, it could just be steam coming from the exhaust. How funny that would be. Otherwise do what Mr. Zoodled said and run a CR test.
