Either oil residue on your driveway, or the oil is going into your coolant.

I may be a little late, but this is a video from a couple years ago when I blew the head gasket on my grand am. Looks a bit more severe than what yours is doing.

It was a summer day, so that white isn't from it being cold.

Your car is pouring coolant out of the muffler? Blinking check engine light? 5 minutes of normal run time and then bouncing from 1k-3.5k at idle? Takes about 4 cranks to start?

Nope. I put a starter and an alternator on the car a week before that video. I never got to open her up. Step dad had it hauled off without asking me. Some lucky guy at pull-a-part got a whole bunch of new parts, and my backpack with my I.d and physics book in it. lol

Chaotic the reason I posted the video was so you could see the giant puddle under the car, and see the way the exhaust looks choppy. Keep in mind this is a grand am.. it normally has such a smooth and low exhaust. I just don't see your car looking like this.. I might be wrong of course.
