Default Head gasket?

Hey guys,
Just signed up on the forums looking for a little help

my 07 tc is turbocharged running about 10PSI

Yesterday while driving i noticed a ton of white smoke pouring out of the exhaust after the car fully warmed up. Also the crankcase vent hose is spitting out a lot of white smoke.. fairly thick.

I assume its my head gasket but before I change it I figured I would post for some insight here

first things first- check your coolant. is it low? is it "dirty looking"? check your oil, is it low or overfull and looks like foamy pudding? then do a compression test. how about your engine temps, are they normal or fluctuating?

it's probably a kink in your oil line.

scratch the head gasket. Coolant and oil looked fine so I did a compression test. Cylinder 2 showed 70.. So new rings are coming soon
