White smoke and water droplets are coming from the exhaust. White smoke is also coming from one of the sparkplugs. The car is not overheating. The coolent resevior is also boiling over. The car has a new thermostat, battery and coolent resevior. We have had the head gaskets checked and was told they did not look blown. The oil looks normal when we checked it. The car is also making a ticking noise and has a burning smell. The oil was changed less than a week ago and was not overdue at the time.
