Cylinders or head gasket?
7 months ago, my wife was driving me to the airport where i would be gone for 7 months. On the way there, my truck (94 toyota dx, 4x4, 22-RE) let out a HUGE cloud of white smoke, like a smoke screen at a stop light, and again when we stopped at the airport. I didn't have much time to look over the truck, but there was radiator fluid all over the engine, and it had spewed down the left side of the truck to the bed. There wasn't any pop sounds or anything like that, just the cloud of smoke and the fluid. Well, its been sitting at her uncles house the hole time i was gone. Nobody started it or looked at it really. Her unlce said it was probably the head gasket. I got home a week ago, and got it started, but thats besides the point. Can anyone tell me if that sounds like a head gasket or if i cracked a cylinder head? Also, theres a crack in the exhaust, right below the manifold. would it be cheaper just to go to the junk yard and take a whole exhaust system off another truck, or just get the section replaced at a muffler shop?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im on foot till my Toy gets fixed.
