Probably water leaking into engine from head gasket. A few engines are prone to condensation from large cam cover surface area. Any oil or smell of petrol in water system?

I would check the inside of your oil cap. if it has a white or milky residue texture you have a blown head gasket or head. have that checked. good luck
When you replaced the head gasket, did you check for a cracked head or block, if the head gasket was properly installed and the head wasn't warped, it's probably a crack.
Sounds like your head gasket is leaking coolant into one or more of the combustion chambers, do you have any water in the oil pan?(does the oil look milky? Or does the oil filler cap have a milky residue along with the overheating and white smoke you have, these are all tell tale sighn of head gasket failure.
Thanks, Frank
have you checked your oil
see id it looks over filled
it may look milky
also remove your oil fill cap and see if you have milky oil residue if you find any of these you have a bad head gasket and need to preform a head joe get back to me and tell me what you find hope this help
White smoke is generally a sign of buring antifreeze which is a sign of a blown head gasket. Pull your oil dip stick and see if the oil is milky white. Open your radiator cap and start the truck. Do you have lots of bubbling going on or is there a oily residue in the antifreeze? If so these are other signs of a blown head gasket.
ok lets try to figure it out. FIRST OFF. SATURNS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. REMOVE THE THERMOSTAT AND REPLACE THE HOUSING WITHOUT A NEW ONE. START THE CAR AND DRIVE TO SEE IF TEMP. IS NORMAL NOW. IF NOT AND STILL OVERHEATS CHECK FOR BLOWN HEAD GASKET. REMOVE OIL CAP AND LOOK UNDER THE CAP FOR MILKY RESIDUE, IF SO ENGINE WORK IS NEEDED.
that milky substance is just the result of not changing the oil enough, it is water and oil mixed. the water is just condensation that ends up at the highest point, the oil cap. clean it off and it should be fine. make sure that the oil is at the correct level.
I have seen that with my truck too. It happens when you mainly drive short distances. The oil does not stay hot long enough to evaporate all the water.
