Out of hibrination

Brought my car out for the first time in a few months today and its acting really weird. Its making a whining sound from the passenger side of the motor. Almost sounds like a supercharger would ( I wish that was the problem). Also blowing little white smoke out the pass side tail pipe. Anyone got any ideas I'm thinking my Head gasket may have gone out again but I'm looking for any ideas thanks.

Have you checked the condition of the oil? Is it milky in appearance?

I'll be taking a better look at it tomorrow. I checked the dipstick and I could tell it smelled like either gas or coolant had mixed. Makes me think head gasket or intake. Only question is that I replaced the head gaskets about a year ago, what would make them go out again. I'm almost thinking my head may be warped? Does any one else have any ideas? Thanks for the input I really appreciate it

That sucks, if it was somewhere cold maybe it froze and cracked? No other real reason for that to happen just from sitting.
