    Losing coolant

    Hi I have a 1995 dodge dakota with 2.5l engine in it and I am having a problem with it losing coolant. I checked the compression on all the cylinders they are at 130 but when the car warms up and you take off from a intersection it blows a lot of white smoke and I can smell coolant when it is running and the spark plugs are clean does this mean the head gasket is bad. Any help would be nice thanks.

    Well the other option is a cracked head, so hopefully just the headgasket.

    Sure sounds like a headgasket to me. An unusually clear case, actually.
