????
EDIT: Anyone, just tell me what you think it could be. The car blow's white smoke sometimes, but it might just be a combo of me not letting the car warm up all the way in this cold weather (I can put my hand on the pipe's and hold it there for a few moments) and it running lean, doesnt seem to overheat, doesnt smell of coolant, but does as stated above run lean due to a shredded intake elbow. It is low on coolant, but I'm honestly not sure if it just been low or got low. I've had the car for a few month's, but I bought it with a burnt clutch so is a real life 5 driven mile's, plus a few hours of idle at most enough to blow the head gasket's on a otherwise not overheating, but lean running car?

Looks like you motor has the shitz.

Do you do alot of short trips? Short trips can cause an oil foam build up in the oil cap. Seems like you have alot of issues you need to fix before you can correctly diagnose problems.

When is the last time you changed the oil? I didn't change my oil for a long time once and it started to do that. Not nearly as much as that though!

Just got done raining, and i was driving home, pulled into my street (water was barely at the bottom of my front bumper, all of a sudden car shut off, didnt turn on until everything was dry.

i did an oil change, car was the same as ever.

Post some pics with Photobucket.. I can't see the ones you posted. If it looks Milky, then it's probably a blown Head Gasket.
