Is this a sign that the smoke is my catalytic??

that doesnt explain white (oil) smoke coming out the tail pipe. That signifies that the headgasket is blown.

I know...but it goes away once the car is warm...

Plus, i thought another symptom of the headgasket being blown is that the engine overheats(?). Mine doesnt overheat at all, its so crazy.

Hehh, anyways, i only need to get the car to pass emissions, after that i can go about worrying about my headgasket, etc. Do yall think itll pass when its on its ''good behaviour''?? As in no smoking, no high idling, etc. etc. etc.?? Personally, i think it can, once its warm. But then again, i dont know much about emissions and stuff like that.....

A lot of compression related problems will act like yours. Do not be mislead about having any 1 specific symptom for a blown head gasket (other than total loss of compression). Cars overheat if the head gasket breaks so exhaust gasses are being pumped into the water jacket surrounding the cylinder. If your radiator hoses are bulging this coule be the case... My guess, you either have a cracked ring that is pumping oil in to a combustion chamber or a cracked head gasket at a oil-to-gas boundary. Either of these, if minor may appear to go away when everything heats up and expands.
