1996 Ford Contour

i recently bought my car and during the test drive it ran ok the previous owner said it only needed rear struts. While I was driving the car stopped on me, it overheated, the check engine light appeared, the oil light appeared and the battery light appeared. After I filled the car with both coolant and oil white smoke came from the exhaust pipe. Now the car wont move at all can you help me?

Hello,

Well, unfortunately the white smoke from exhaust is a good indication of a Blown Head Gasket. One way to check for this is to take a look at the coolant and see if there is any indication of Oil in it or by checking your Oil and look for it to be over filled and/or it looking like milk chocalate and faomy.
