White smoke coming out from the tail pipe and losing coolant could mean a blown headgasket cracked head and block.

Get block and pressure tested.

When your not physically leaking coolant then you're burning it. Get it block and pressure tested.

There is no leaking so I'm burning it. What would the price range to fix it my self or should I get that fixed by a pro?
