My97 uk turbo i beleive to have a headgasket failure.

Started my car today after an oil,oil filter and plugs change. I managed to fill the entire road with thick white smoke.

After speaking to a few people i know that are mechanically minded all have said headgasket.
My issue is i have no idea on the condition of the current engine because the previos owner didnt keep any paperwork for it. (Probably because he was a bodging tw*t)

My question is what should i do.

Ie save for a complete rebuild, buy a new(used engine) and just replace the whole lot, change headgasket on my current engine..... the list goes on.

What should i do?
