OK, here is the problem. Car use to smoke in mornings, warms up and goes away. Then for a week now, smoke nonstop. I checked the first left spark plug, took it out and there was smoke coming out from it. The rest of the spark plugs hole checked, and doesn't smoke.

Can anyone tell me what is going on with my car and how much to fix it.
 
So just to clarify,
If I do have oil in the manifold it's gonna be the valve seals?
Thanks for the reply man!!
2 of my dsm had bad valve seals and the main symptom was start up puff of smoke and clears shortly. After a good drive and idling it would begin to smoke a fair amount... depending on how bad yours are will determine the amount of smoke.

Most likely. There are other possible causes but that's the best place to start.

More diag. And filling out your profile will help us, help you.
