intake leak or head gasket??

Heres the deal... the car is smoking what sometimes appears to be bluish and sometimes appears to be white/grey it will not idle in fact the second you take your foot off the gas it stalls. I just finished putting a hotcam in and total have run the engine less than 2-3minutes. My head Gaskets were fine before the cam install and since I have real duals wouldn't both of the head Gaskets had to have simutaineosly failed on startup for it to smoke from both pipes? My coolant level is dropping but I am not sure if this is because the thermostat is opening or if it is being burned up(I have about 8 liters of coolant in the system total). I am not sure if there is coolant in the oil yet. This sucks

Bluish was oil burning i thought? Have you drained your oil yet to see if it was slimy? If so that would say coolant have gotten in your oil supply somehow. Do you use a lot of cam lube? I'm not sure if that would cause it to smoke? How's the oil pressure? Temp? Have no idea why it would die so quick? did you take off your heads when you did the install? You did state that the headgaskets looked ok?
