Message like a possible blown head gasket. You should do a compression check to verify this. It's likely that you have coolant leaking into a cylinder which is why you're not getting pressure build up in the system. This is why you would see white smoke. Blue smoke is an indication of oil burning - which could also be mixed in with the white smoke.

And don't trust the temp gauge - it's nothing more than a glorified idiot light. It won't give you an accurate indication of your actual water temp.
