Headgasket surfaces may not have been scraped properly. Do you have oil in coolant or coolant in oil? How bout excessive white exhaust?

How often are you going through each?

It is hard to tell if there is excesive smoke because it has been very cold. Also I dont think there is any coolant in the oil and oil in the coolant but I may be mistaken.

After vehicle is hot the smoke should stop coming out of the exhaust.
