Given the amount of detail you have given us, I will give you my best thoughts...
Something is wrong.
But seriously you need to give more information if you expect any sort of hypotheses.

I just got the car, it runs good , it leaks oil it looks like from valve cover, it burns oil not normal iam guessing? When i turn it on it smokes its white smoke

 

[javy]

It doesnt have power as well i cant feel it has power when i acelerate it

OK since its an RS I can help a little bit here.

First thing to do is check and find what leaks you have and where..

On the side of engine near the firewall right above the passenger CV Joint there is a Oil Level Pressure sensor this can leak I know happened to mine.

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

If not there than check Valve cover and ultimately the head gasket.

I would also Do a Compression test on the piston rings as sounds like they could be worn and allowing oil to get passed them.

Leak down test could also confirm this info.

I'm going to second on the basic compression test to start,have seen rings or slight cooling jacket leakage allot

420a motors are notorious for blowing head gaskets.White smoke and loss of power usually result. Check to see if your oil and coolant are mixing. If your dipstick looks like chocolate milk there's your problem. Leakdown test will confirm.

Actually the dip stick comes out clean hmm, the owner who sold it to me told me he he took the head off and changed the head gasket 3 years ago, butt i will most defenitely look into these options, thank you guys very much apreciated!

Do a simple compression test bro will tell you all you need to know. if you want to go deeper then a leakdown test will narrow it down.

To reiterate PlanZero sounds like a blown head gasket. My first eclipse was an Rs that had those same exact symptoms ended up replacing the headgasket and it ran great.

+1 most likely blown head gasket - compression test will verify. White smoke is always coolant burning (usually due to blown head gasket allowing coolant into cylinder).
