Default Urgent help needed

Right my car is pushing out a serious amount of white smoke for some reason?

Could this be the Head Gasket? What else would cause this.

Exhaust manifold is weeping oil and it's running partially off a cylinder. You can hear it running off but when you take the lead off the injector it dies a little bit more. Water and oil isn't mixing, no gunk on the dipstick and the breather pipes aren't oily.

Anyone help me. My mot is tomorrow afternoon.

It's a 1997 wrx sti type r.

White smoke is generally linked to water ingress into the cylinder.

Head gasket or cracked cylinder liner.

Are you losing water and when the car is first started, are the water pipes from the top of the radiator to the engine block very hard to squash?
