when the car starts up and is driven it starts to run hot and then there is white smoke coming from both sides of the exhast. I checked the oil to see if there is any milky substance in it and the oil is clean. The over flow res. after I fill it will be empty when this happens.

Get your cooling system block and pressure tested-white smoke points to coolant is being burn in the combustion chamber-couild mean blown headgasket, cracked head or block and intake gasket
