Does White Smoke Out My Tailpipe Mean a Blown Head Gasket?

I am looking to buy a 1994 Roadtrek 190 Popular with an Automatic 318 V Dodge engine. It is a van conversion type of motor home. I had the owner take it into a mechanic and met him there. I asked the mechanic to do a compression check along with a total mechanical check up of the van. The service manager said that they didn’t do compression checks but listened to the vehicle. The van was in the shop for 45 minutes.

1998 Chevy Blazer Engine Runs Hot Coolant Leaking Somewhere

I have a 98 blazer 4.3 v6 4×4. My engine is running hot, i have to keep filling the radiator w/ antifreeze, but the visible leak is coming from the backside, center of the engine. It looks like its dripping off the left side of the transmission pan. I doubt its the water pump, or a cracked radiator due to the location of the leak.

Blown Head Gasket? – 2001 Chevy Cavalier Overheats

My 2001 Chevy cavalier needs head gasket repair, at least that’s what the mechanic said. I replaced the water pump and fan motor but the water reservoir continued to be empty almost immediately, I could drive around the corner and the reservoir would be empty. Then the car would begin to run hot.
