white smoke

[big green]

My car is blowing white smoke and is leaking oil. You can see it coming out of the 4th cylinder. I also did a compression check to be sure and, #4 is low. Then my check engine light comes on. Any one know how to fix the white smoke problem? Any help will be apprecated thnax.

alright before this is moved i thought id chime in and help ya..when you say your leaking oil,are you leaking it from between the head and the block or is there oil in the cylinder?..if its oil in the cylinder then its probaly a cracked piston or a blown ring..or number 2 that white smoke could be anti-freeze burning..that would mean a HG which is the cheaper of the 2 conclusions..neither one is cheap but the HG isnt as big of a ordeal as the ring or piston is..have someone pull the code for the cel..if you have to drive it to an AA and see if theyll do it for you..but make sure to keep the car up with oil and dont beat on it either IF you have to drive it to get there..let us know how it goes then too..oh and another sign of a HG is low coolant or coolant traces in your oil..drain the oil and if it looks like chocolate milk then its probaly anti freeze in your oil..also check the dipstick to see if there are any "water" bubbles on the dipstick..also another coolant in your oil dilemma..hope this helps..
