What you have described is a classic blown head gasket condition.
DO NOT drive it any further than absolutely necessary (towing is better) Forget about fuel pressure regulator...when there is steam in the exhaust the O2 sensors cannot read properly and can cause excessive fuel to be introduced into the engine. (entire fuel management system is thrown "off kilter".) Before driving or running the engine after the repair, have the engine oil changed to remove any contamination.
Remember...don't drive it or you will do serious internal engine damage.
good luck!

theres large amount of white smoke from the exhaust
I didn't replace anything the only strange smell comes from the exhaust smell like coolant
if white smoke was coming from the exhaust and a the oil smells like theres a gas getting in it could it be that all id have to replace would be the fuel pressure regulator

If you don't have a water pump leak, radiator leak, or a blown freeze out plug, you probably have a blown head gasket.
did you have something replaced recently? could be burning it or it is leaking out. any strange smells in vehicle especially with heat on?
Better start looking carefully for leaks or excessive white smoke from exhaust!! I can't tell you where the leak is, but coolant does not disappear! It IS going somewhere!! Check engine oil and make sure it's not going inside, check that there is no kind of oil in the coolant and use a flashlight and get under there and look!
