If the white smoke comes out around the intake manifold, I'd believe that it is really coming out of your headgasket. If true, that would have been a pretty bad case; please examine closely.
Check the coolant expansion tank for oil too.
You mentioned "thermostat reads 3/4", did you mean the temperature gauge? The thermostat itself is a device mounted on the engine at the coolant return (to the radiator), it opens when the engine temp reaches a pre-determined setting (2 kinds, 89 and 82 degress), allowing the hot coolant to flow into the radiator, which gets rid of the heat. You may want to replace the thermostat if the temp goes up to 3/4. Get the Saab OEM, which is a special 3-way design. The thermostat should have nothing to do with the white smoke.
