Cant' really do the old bubbles in the radiator check because the heater core outlet is right there, almost made me tear my engine apart when i saw that.
End all, be all 100% answer would be a compression test.
You may be delightfully surprised and find it's a leak somewhere in the intake plenum.
White smoke can also be tranny fluid being sucked in past the modulator too, btw. :thumbsup:
