Problems with 96 GXE

Hey all,
What's new these days on here?
My mom's 96 GXE
46k miles
Well, it's been really cold here lately. Yesterday morning, she told me it didn't want to start... I went out there, turned the key, primed the pump, and then started it... it cranked, turned over, then bogged and stalled. Then I restarted it and throttled it to keep the RPM's up slightly... for a few seconds, and then it idled down at 500RPM's with a slightly clicking sound from the motor... (not a wrap...)
I got out and the exhaust was pure white in steady puffs (leaky head gasket?)...
Once warmed, I took it out for a blast... as I left the driveway, I just touched the throttle, and it slightly studdered all the way up the street... then I got on it (lots of white smoke from the exhaust) and when I got back, it was running fine... So now I'm thinking, leaky head gasket? This morning I checked the coolant levels and all was full... Fuel filter? Anyone deal with this before? It has a 100k mile drivetrain warranty... but I just wanted to find the problem before I take it in... Thanks for the help and glad to be back on here!
