White smoke????

I have a major smoke problem...My car is letting out white smoke everytime I shift. What causes this problem. Aslo I noticed my ride eats oil like crazy. Could this be a new head gasket solution?????My ride is a 1990 honda hatchback. Model standard.

White smoke sounds like coolant, odd that it only happens when you shift. You might want to run a compression test before you change the head gasket, just to see if that is it.

Do you see white smoke all the time, or only when you shift?
