Default Blowing smoke

This belongs in both internal and external but i chose this section. My car has been blowing some white smoke lately when i make a pass and with the cut out open it will come up through the cabin. My car has also been smelling like gas lately while idling.. I called my tuner he said he can check it out but that might not be until next week so anything i can check up on?

not sure what your mechanical aptitude is and what tools you have, but i would run a leak down test to find out if i have a head gasket leaking and also check the compression while im at it. you said it is white smoke so your problem is water or coolant. As far as the car smelling like gas when idling, could be your tune
