My car is overheating. I add antifreeze and it still gets hot after about 6 miles. It is not leaking antifreeze. the antifreeze is not getting in the oil, yet. There has been some white smoke that comes from the exhause but it goes away after about 1/4 mile.

Could be the begining of a headgasket failure but maybe an intake manifold gasket. Pressurize cooling system for about 4 hrs pull plugs crak over if coolant comes out headgasket if not intake.
