Welcome to the site, Garment. You will indeed find some great advice here. You will note that a lot of responses are simply asking for more info. The more you provide, the better the experts can guide you and there are some real experts here...like John above.

Generally speaking, these cars tend to leak a little oil. It's best described as "marking it's territory." Some usual leak sources drip on or close to the exhaust that will then give you that oil smell after driving. In addition, these cars were designed to consume a little oil during normal operation. In the older cars, even a little smoke isn't necessarily a bad thing. The info you've been ask to provide will help diagnose the source of your leaks and then you'll start to see what's best about this board: suggested course of action in three part harmony and maybe a nearby pelican volunteering to lend you a hand.

Good luck and welcome to the madness.
