There is a lot of white smoke coming from the exhaust on start up and every time I rev the car up. It smells like gas. There is oil in the coolant reservoir, but no water in the oil. I haven't checked the spark plugs yet. The car only has 60k miles, full bolt on's, and has never been to the strip or beat on. Could the head gaskets be blown? I'm at a loss here...

i would pull codes first, check plugs and coil packs.
then have a conpression test done on it. go through the cheapest process of elimination before you spend any money on unneccesary expensive repairs.

mine blew a spark plug out of the head and destroyed a coil pack. i had white smoke out the exhaust, oil in the coolant resevoir as well.

i doubt you have a blown head gasket.

edit: check the oil filter module gasket. that can cause oil in the coolant reservoir.
