So im getting some white smoke every so often, and my dip stick popped out, could this be a sign of a bad head gasket?

Could be. Check your radiator for oil and your oil for water. Coolant temperature rise suddenly under boost?

Do a leak down test. Check #6 first. Poping out the dipstick tube is normally a hurt piston.

White smoke probably on lift right?
