There's lots of places to help you.

But be prepare to spend about $800-$1000 in labor cost at a good shop.

White smoke coming from your exhaust usually indicate a bad headgasket or a bad turbo.

I don't know what kind of engine you have, but assuming it's a stock KA, you can take the turbo out of the equation.

Headgasket jobs usually cost an arm and a leg (if you don't do it yourself) and may not be worth it on older cars.

So, these are your options.

1. Replace HG yourself: save some money and gain some knowledge.
2. Sell car: use the money to buy something more reiable.
3. Swap motor: either go for that SR or RB engine swap you've been setting your eyes on or buy a cheap KA replacement. In fact, I'm almost certain that you can buy a running KA for less than it costs to get a headgasket replaced at a shop.

Good Luck!
