White smoke from exhaust

Engine Cooling problem
1998 Ford Station Wagon 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 81900 miles

Hi,
I just had my head gasket replaced about a month ago and now I have white smoke coming from my exhaust again! Is this another head gasket issue or could it be with my cooling system?

White smoke indicates coolant getting into the combustion chamber. It sounds like a headgasket. If you just replaced them, you may have a warped head.
