So it looks like your headgasket, eh? Time for a rebuild, a bumper repaint, the preparation for comments about your nasty taillights and sweet paint color.

I wish I lived in a state where my license plate matched my car...

I agree on the tails but it came with the car so i left it like that as for the paint chips that's what you get in NY parking spots and i don't think its the head gasket because the engine temp is good and it also runs good read the post before the pics

Dude, you come on here asking advice. You fail to clearly explain how the car suddenly "had no oil" even after you were asked to clarify. That alone is a huge problem. Furthermore, you post a pic of a car with white smoke, you get told its the head gasket, and then you insist (because of your super duper mechanics degree from the school of club-lexus) that it can't be the head gasket because it doesn't overheat and run fine.

Quit being cheap and take it to a shop. Its somehow "losing oil" and blowing out white/greyish smoke. Its an internal engine problem that will be very very expensive to fix, and based on how reluctant your are to take it to a shop to even get diagnosed, I can all but guarantee that you cannot afford to fix it.

Therefore, quit wasting the forum's time with this issue, drive the car until it dies, donate it and take the tax write off, and get your parents to buy you another beat up lexus.

rinse and repeat.

happy thanksgiving.

why don't you pull the spark plugs out and see if the plugs are fouled with oil or water. Motor will run with blown head gaskets, but for how long? hahaha you should get that checked out soon.

just take it someplace where someone knows what they're doing. Until then, like said, this thread is pointless.
