Hdhuntr23, as the other respondents cite, white smoke usually indicates moisture burning off. I recently had my 1995 Aero head gasket finally start to give after 325 k miles. Idle was not smooth, and inspection of plugs revealed rust color (noticeable wrong brown color) , and since the car had sat for 24 hours, further inspection into cylinder through plug hole revealed rust color on top of 2 pistons. Around those 2 cylinders is where the gasket had started to go. White smoke came out of exhaust as well , not regularly, but on occasion, as I did not have total fail/leak of gasket. Good luck- Tom S.
