Ok so I go to start my car and it keeps dying right after it starts. I look under the hood and notice I am leaking fluid. It turns out to be coolant from a head gasket. She is smoking from the drivers side pipe(white).

So my first Q, is would a blown head gasket cause the car to die right after it starts?

Any ideas on what else I should replace or look at while I have the heads off? Any suggestions on what kind of gaskets to buy?
 

Henceforward
