Car Repair > Smoke rom tailpipe... What to do??? >

I have a 95 Plymouth Neon (2.0L Engine) 4 Cyl

Last Sunday I sat in my car to warm it up after a particularly cold night and it was doing just fine. Then I decided to move it to a different parking spot to make sure it was okay and then it sounded like the engine stopped itself, the oil light came on and the car just slowed to a stop. I immediately check my motor oil level adn the dipstick says that I could use more. I had a little bit of 5W30 left but it wasn’t enough so I went out and bought some 10W30 (that was all the gas station had). I didn’t want to chance it mixing the two (and knowing that I was due for an oil change that same week) but my graduation was in 2 hours and so I just added them both. I put about 3 quarts in.

Not knowing if I overfilled on the oil or not I give the car some time to sit before I tried to start it up again. It would start up just fine and then roll to a stop and the oil light would come on again (could not accelerate). This happened maybe 5 times before I actually got out of my parking lot. When I did, the same thing preceeded to happen but this time smoke began coming out of the tailpipe (smelly smoke... couldn’t tell if the color was blue or white though).

For the past couple of days I would go out and start it up again (it’s been real cold here in Indiana) and it would start just fine. It would idle with no problem but I still got the smoke issue going on. Now I’m thinking either I’m burning excess oil (not to mention that I think there may be a leak) or that the head gasket is blown. What do you say doc???
