Thanks for your answers previously:
Anyway does this technically mean i have blown engine? how do I know? can you recommend how to go about this engine trouble of mine. (car still drives fine in low and high revs)
 
uh, Third, white smoke on start up could just be condensation in the tail pipe (water vapor). Oil burners emit blue / black smoke and does it all the time if your rings are worn out or valve seals shot. Of course it might be a blown head gasket but if the antifreeze level isn't dropping and or your motor oil looking milky. So, no I would say condensation that forms after a car has been shut off a little while and nothing to worry about. If your valve seals were leaking oil or oil escaping around your piston rings then it would fowl a sparkplug or two and your car wouldn't run or sound very good. It would have a "miss" or have that Th,th,th( just like pronouncing it) sound to it
