I have a 1995 Saturn SL1 Manual with around 220k miles on it. Just today I noticed that it started producing a lot of white smoke out of the exhaust mainly when I am accelerating pretty fast. If I start off slow it doesn't do it as bad but if I take off at a faster speed i leave quite the cloud behind me.

It doesn't have any blueish or black tint to it, it is just white. The coolant level is fine and engine does not overheat at all. I am guessing this may be a Head Gasket problem or maybe some bad combustion in the exhaust system. Any Suggestions/Answers?
