1998 Dodge Stratus 4 cyl

i have an oil leak that seems to be getting worse. Also, as of about a month ago my car has been spouting white smoke. Initially this only occured when I started it for the first time each day. Today my car was driving weird and it was just pooring out smoke. Im assuming a blown head gasket. But I don't want to scare myself. Ideas?
