Fixer upper having weird/exhaust issues

[Efful]

Hello fellow owners, I'm back again with some weird issues and hopefully not a cracked engine block.

So recently I changed my radiator. Last one leaked really badly after the vehicle was in a collision. I've been checking my radiator everyday since last Saturday, and I've had to add about a 1/4 cup each time. When I start it there is no issue, doesn't over heat or anything, but the exhaust has a funny smell. Other than that, no smoke or anything else. If I rev it or hold RPMs at above 2000 the exhaust starts to smoke (white). Smoke disappears within a second of exiting exhaust. Also a lot of clear liquid comes out but I believe that is condensation.

What could be the cause of these issues? I'm hopping it's not a cracked block.

A "blown head gasket" but maybe not literally a blown head gasket. Watch Schrodingers Box videos, Part 1 and Part 2, on this subject. Schrodinger has a subscription channel on You Tube that is well worth the small monthly fee and offers it free to subscribers in developing countries that can't even afford that. Schrodinger releases many common issue videos, like the following, without any paid subscription. They are long, in depth, educational, hands on tutorials directed at the DIY mechanic.

Here's a follow-up video from Schrodinger showing the results of using a head gasket stop-leak product on the same car he was testing for a "blown head gasket". I have never been a fan of these products for problem head gasket remedies. This video gives a good explanation as to why these remedies are temporary at best or useless in worst case scenarios.

Thank you for a quick reply, I watched those two videos and I'll definitely have to give one of those a try. As for those stop leaks I would never use one, I believe they will cause more damage over time.
