Coolant in my oil

Hey guys got a 94 v6 manual trans with coolant in the engine oil. Is this the sign of a blown head gasket? Also got white smoke coming out the exhaust. Could it be something besides the head gasket?

It's a head gasket DON'T run the car until you get it fixed coolant will kill your engine

If you had coolant coming out of a spark plug hole there is not need to check compression you have a blown headgasket or cracked head. If you have alot of coolant in your oil start looking for a motor.
