I am also experiencing similar problem. white smoke is coming out from my muffler. i have noticed also that the water/coolant in the reserved easily dries, around 5-6 days, then i have to add again a water coolant or most likely running just more than 150kms then need to add the coolant.would it be a head gasket problem also?

thanks for that sir. at first, that was the problem, so we just put a gasket maker (paste) in the hose of the radiator. the drip stops. however, white smoke is still there. so most probably need to replace my head gasket.
