2000 xj started pouring out white smoke today, have been having overheating probs and coolant lose before the smoke. Does this sound like a blown head gasket

The weak link on your 2000 is the known defect in the 0331 cylinder head, between cylinders 3-4.

Head must come off. Inspection should tell the story. New Clearwater head or salvage yard TUPY head, a few oil changes, coolant flushing (maybe more than one) and hopefully that will resolve it.

This 0331 cylinder head should NEVER go back on your engine. If it's a factory 0331, you now have a new boat anchor. They cannot be effectively repaired.
