Big Cloud Of Smoke, and its not normal!

I started my car and a big cloud of White smoke with a greanish tint is comming out of the exaust. When it warms up and runs for a bit some droplettes form on the exaust tip. I havent taken it for a drive yet because I am scared that it may overheat.

I know it has something to do with the coolant but I am wondering what do you guys think it is, Ow wise ones!

More then likely its the oil seperator, I just replaced this on our 01 Boxster, about a 2-3 hour job, its just a ***** to get to, part itself is around $90. I also changed all the plugs after because if you continue to drive it you will foul the plugs. It only does this on startup when engine is cool

Could possibly be a blown head gasket or cracked head. Was the car overheated at anytime before it started happening? Did you let anyone drive the car when you weren't inside the cockpit?
