yes it is coolant but why it smokes when cold and why it smokes when i get on it but normal driving it does not smoke.

could be the intake manifold gasket too. The coolant flows through it close to the front two intakes. I had a coolant leak in my gasket (leaked out the front as opposed to toward the cylinders) but it only showed itself when I drove it hard - i.e. when it built up enough pressure in the cooling system to get past the gasket seal.
