White Smoke & Wet Block
Today sucked!!
While driving my 1998 Tacoma with the 2.7L 4 cyl, and a 5 speed, the truck started to miss in 2nd gear and struggled under load. I drove about another 100 yards and the check engine light began flashing. I shut it down, and looked underneath and nothing but a wet block. I thought it was an oil leak from a recent oil change, but apparently not. The radiator appears to be empty, or at the very least it's really low. No foam in the oil.
The block is only wet down the passenger side around the oil pan level.
I restarted the truck and white smoke is rolling out the back, so I shut it down again.
Anybody have an idea where to start? Head gasket? Cracked Head? Cracked Block?

Pulled codes today and the only thing that comes up is a P0301... misfire in #1. I've read in a lot of places that the coil packs are notorious for this. Is it possible to have a leaky water pump or something and they are two separate issues? Water pump and Coil Pack I mean??
I power washed the grime and oil off last week and the truck ran rough for about 15 seconds when I restarted it...
Any and all suggestions appreciated!!
