As I'm sure you've been told, white smoke it's coolant.
And the fuel smell means an intake manifold or head gasket is to blame.
If it's a leak somewhere in the manifold, no sweat. New intake and your done.
If it's the gasket, new motor. Not because there's even anything wrong w the motor
per say. It could be a $50 head gaskets fault. But if you dig into a motor that far,
you might as well rebuild.
But think of it like this. How great would your peace of mind be with a rebuilt motor? Pretty great right ? So I hope it's the cheap one but if not, that new motor will always be cheaper than buying another car comparable to the G.
