Hey i have a bmw 540i 1997, my engine fan shattered and caused my engine to over heat.. It cut my oil filter line, and i had that replaced. Now it also cut a hole in my coolant reservoir and as soon as i pour coolant in there, it leaks out.. Could this be the cause of my white smoke or could it be a blown head gasket?

White smoke is likely coolant. I would pressure test the cooling system. If the system will not hold pressure and there are no external leaks the head gasket may be faulty.
