smoke coming from expansion tank

smoke coming from expansion tank
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a leaking radiator so at first, i need to fill the tank up maybe every 40mins of drive. My temp stays steady at half for 2 days ..... but on the third day, a replace the radiator (from junkyard)(another leaking radiator) and try to test it first. Now guess what , My coolant thingy from the dash is not lighting up and i thought i got my problem solved then not noticing my temp is reaching the top the WHITE SMOKE from the engine compartment.
Finally, i bought a brand new Radiator and got it installed ....... I'm so excited to see my baby runs like the same old bastard like it used to be BUT WHITE SMOKE STILL COMING FROM HOOD.
Temp stay steady on idle but the minute i step on it, the temp goes up like a quick erection (oops).
Expansion tank bubbles and smells like burned oil.
Can this be a busted head gasket or something to do with the engine block itself where the coolant goes through (little holes that you see with the cylinder head off)(dunno what's it called)
Hope that someone can save my baby T5
huhuhuhuhuhu
Tnx

RE: smoke coming from expansion tank
The only real way to find out for sure if it is blown is to do a block test.
You need to find one of these in the link and test it.
