white smoke from the tail pipes, fruity smell coming from the tails also is a good sign when the car is at operating temp and teh smoke continues. if the car is cold there is going to smoke from the tails and water dripping. you can pull your plugs, a plug burnning coolant will have a tell tail sign vs the others. you can do a leak down test or test the coolant for hydrocarbons ( high reading pretty much nails it). the intake also make have a leak so check this also.
