Please help, there is white smoke gushing out of the exhaust when running and it spits out coolant from the reservoir when I shut it off.

Rough guess with little information, but sounds like a blown head gasket!

temperature gauge, how does it act?
Does the car eat coolant, u have to fill it up lots?
How have you been driving it?
If it blows a head gasket for no reason, well my car had a leaky bleeder screw, everythign looked right, new washer, but the bleeder and aluminum in the 931 is very touchy, the hole on the bleeder screw is in line with where you seal the two surfaces, i wish they would have put the hole down in the middle of the bolt. |

The temp gauge reads normal.
but the coolant gets spit out through the actual coolant reservoir cap (then I refill it) and its quite a bit of coolant (1liter or so)
Driving (in motion) its fine, but when I shut it off the coolant starts spewing
Driving wise, you could call it sunday driving:)
