White smoke?
My 97 f250hd recently had the oil cooler go out and leaked coolant in my oil. Sadly didn't notice real quick and it got a little hot. Replaced the oil cooler and all the seals but now I'm at the next issue its spitting coolant out the top of the coolant tank. And it white smokes bad at idle but give it a little gas and it clears up. The one thing confusing me is there's no fluids mixing that I can see/smell. Think it might be injector cup but not positive. I want to know if it could be head gasket yet or not.

Could have two issues.
coolant should not be spitting out. Sounded like a head gasket leak but a cup leak can do similar too
white smoke could be that or unburned fuel but need to address the coolant leak first
