White smoke between valve cover and head at high rpms?

so just recently had this prob. that when i go into high rpms white smoke was blowing out from my engine bay, had a friend check it and its blowing out between my valve cover and head. smells like coolant but dont know how coolant can get in there unless i have a crack or something. is it just my head gasket that blown?

yea i checked the oil, still good, checked the coolant and its low. and i just replaced the radiator and filled it up like 3 weeks ago so i think it just might be a pin hole in a line thats spraying coolant onto the motor or manifold thats making it steam. and that my friends a dumba$$ and cant see good. lol


and teal , i thought so but then idk if its that, because i dont see any sign of oil leaking if it was dripping onto the manifold. and i smell burning coolant.

Why don't you "check it yourself? I mean why did you have your friend check it and then call him the "dumba$$"?
