My toyota 4runner, now that I have it at 6K feet elevation and at 0 degrees, is exhibiting excessive smoke from the exhaust. I would think I have a head gasket problem but I just drove it over 800 miles straight and haven't lost a drop of oil, though it appears I may have lost a 1-2 cups of coolant. It may be the coolant was not topped off with the recent water pump replacement. The car ran like a top for 800 miles, from SF to Utah. I just bought it. What is my problem? If any

If you have not lost any oil and the amount of coolnat lost is minimal with no overheating issues, I don't see any problem with the engine.

If the weather is cold, exhaust would tend to spout smoke ( in fact it is steam if it is completely white ) and it is normal operational phenomena.
