When I turn the truck on, it has no problem starting...it just spits out clear-yellowish liquid from the tail pipe and extremely large amounts of smoke. I was told it could either be my head gasket, or an oil piston. What does it sound like to you and how much do you think it would cost.

Thanks

whatcolor smoke and have you noticed a low antifreeze level?

i would be suspecting a headgasket or a intake manifold gasket failure, to check you will need a compression tester.
