white= burning coolant=blown head gasket...maybe
take off your radiator cap and turn the car on, if it starts to bubble over then i think thats it
dont get upset just yet im just givin you a worst case senario, take it somewhere to get checked out...good luck

could simply be condensation in the exhaust depending on how long its been doing it. i dont know how much condensation you would get in nevade tho..
i assume you have true duals with the smoke only coming from the driver side.
imo its almost impossible to check for a bad head gasket by looking for bubbles down the radiator neck. if the smoke smells real sweet thats a sign of coolant going where it shouldnt. although i dont know how the pink stuff smells, might be a completely different smell than the older green coolant.
