Default White smoke

Was suspecting head gasket blown because of white smoke pouring from exhaust. As a last ditch effort put in Blue Devil head gasket sealer per directions and ran at idle for 60 minutes. As it was running I noticed the white smoke reduced to a normal look . Must say that car was outside at 20 degrees so some exhaust smoke was noticed. then took for a test drive and only went 3 blocks and vast cloud of white smoke was again following me. Of course upset but resisted driving it into a tree. Car now runs like a sewing machine after ECU replacement and new Injectors, fuel pressure regulator, pressure damper, and fuel filter. I then used a torch to heat up (burn) some anti-freeze at the bench and took a whiff of the smoke and it smells sweet - so then heated up some power steering fluid - this also burns white and smells like what is happening at the tailpipe. Take that lungs and liver!. So after all this - how in the world does P.S. or tranny fluid get into the combustion cycle? Any ideas out there? Ready to put this 92 ES out to pasture! Should also say I checked coolant level and appears not to have changed. Pulled tranny stick- seemed okay if a bit low - but haven't checked it for awhile so do not know for sure if it has lowered.
