Default LOUD Ticking/Smoke

On my way home yesterday my car started making a really loud ticking noise. Almost sounded like a really really bad/loud exhaust leak. On top of that, when i got it home i pulled off my lid because smoke was coming out of it. Then a log of white smoke was coming out of my TB. It smelled like coolant and exhaust. PLEASE help!! Im thinking a collapsed lifter and/or blown head gasket....

DO NOT drive the car until you get I figured out. Take off your valve covers and look for the obvious. If you don't see anything time to pull the heads. My $ is on a head gasket.

Check for coolant in your oil and oil in your coolant. Sounds like maybe your head gasket took a ****.
