So recently on starts ups i have been having white smoke come out my exhaust for about 10 seconds, and during that time the whole car like shakes, it feels like the motor is shaking, but once the smoke stops that stops as well i know white means burning coolant, but where could it be comming from? Any help is appreciated

head gasket is my guess. leaking into the cylinder, its not a horrible job on the 1.8t

it ay be the valve cover gaskets to so, i may just spend the 200$ on that rather than the 1500, but if that doesnt work looks like 1500 is what its going to be
