I don't want to try and hijack this thread but think Ive had a similar problem, Driving down the highway yesterday and I got a james bond smoke screen effect. Goes away, for a 1/4 of a mile, I see the exit is less than a mile away, intermittently I see bursts until I get off the exit. Stop and turn the car off, restart and blast of white smoke that cleared the garage out that I pulled in next to. I noticed the oil light was on as I was getting off the off ramp. Car idles fine haven't let it run more than a sec to pull it onto the trailer and to back it off into my garage. To my senses the smoke was white, and the car lost no power or idled funny, the coolant tank was pressurized for a while after I shut it down Which I would think wouldn't be the case in a blown head gasket. But I am not sure since the smoke was white. I have been getting the puff on cold starts but it is usually blue and looks like burnt oil.
