need help with diagnosing

ok, well the car has been puffing a little white smoke for 2 days. and was going to take her to the mechanic on saturday. on my way home from work today the car just pumped out crap loads of white smoke like a burn out through my exhaust. i limped her back home and found the following

thinned out oil, plus higher level and smells like fuel
all 4 plugs are black
car cant stay on with out me on the gas pedal

i have a feeling its the head gasket
