White smoke out of the exhaust? help?

Hey org members:

Recently, my coolant has been draining substantially. I do not know what is wrong. The lower and upper pipe has been replaced before. I do not see any signs of leaking in the engine bay or under the car. But I do notice that my coolant is being drained when the car is running. White smoke is evident from the muffler and little sprinkles of an unknown liquid (most likely the coolant) is lightly showered out. Do you guys have any tips on what this may be? Thank you so much in advance.

Sounds like you need a new head gasket. Try some "bars leaks" I'd just sell the car
