White smoke and water out of the exhaust can be caused by either the intake of head gaskets. The intake will have to be removed whether to replace the intake gasket or the head gaskets so it will be part of the repair regardless. Usually if a head gasket is leaking, it can leak pressure into the cooling system. So you can get rapid pressurization, bubbling of the coolant, or just continually blowing it out.
