I would be happy to hear you say it is not smoking from the exhaust pipes.
Smoke in the negine compart is a leak.
The filler pipe below the oil cap has an o-ring. It dries out and leaks.
The fornt oil seal on the oil pump may be bad. Leaks oil into the timing cover and then drips out. Can get onto the exhaust and smoke.
Do you drive the car hard most of the time? I think most oil leaks can start from that or from too much heat. Check out the radiator. Is it clear or filled up with road dirt?

Old car= repair bills < New car = Car Payments
Time to fix failed part > Time to fix part before it fails
