white smoke, coolant.

[toolbox27]

So occasionally my ka24 will spit out a little bit of white smoke out of the exhaust, usually only one or two puffs. the days it happens are random but it will usually happen for the whole day. it only happens when i go from not moving into first gear. i have heard that white smoke usually means coolant leak but i'm not sure. i also have to fill my radiator often and im pretty sure it is leaking. my question is are these two problems related and why does it only happen going into first gear? any help is appreciated

headgasket.

one person i talked to said it could be the valve cover gasket. does this seem plausible? or is it more likely the head gasket?

never take any advice from that person again lol.
the valve cover gasket has nothing to do with burning coolant.
