went to start it and a lot of white smoke came out the exhaust. I’m assuming head gasket and the car does have an oil leak somewhere just haven’t located it yet. Just looking for someone to point me in the right direction
Also the car needs a tune bad

Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's white (coolant) or blue (oil). Does it have an odor?
Is your coolant level decreasing?
Do you have any oil in the intake?
Valve stem seals are often a culprit if it happens on startup and after idling for a while.
Good advice from Gary too!
 
White smoke is always burning coolant, usually blown head gasket, sometimes turbo. Testing compression will verify if it is the head gasket.
