Technican: Hello, White smoke out the exhaust, rough running engine, and strong fuel odor are indications of a head gasket leak.
A head gasket seals coolant from being drawn into the cylinder during the engine's intake intake stroke. The cooling system is also under pressure and factors to assist coolant ingress to a cylinder if the gasket cannot maintain a seal.
I recommend you have a compression test done to identify the effected cylinders. Decide by the results and number of miles on the engine how far to go with repairs.
The minimum would be a head gasket replacement on the effected bank of the engine block. The long route would be a complete valve job if the car is a keeper.
