I just re read all the posts . So how many miles on this car?

i know that normal mechanics know little about the car that is why i'm here asking u guys
in the manual says if it doesn't turn on push the gas...so i did that
i didn't "flush" the gas if that's what you are asking...the car had been siting for some time before i bought it
coils and vac lines seem good
~135km
vid link below:P
you ask for any details, i will provide

What color is the smoke? You say oil/water.... I presume it is white/gray, eh?
Personally I would start by hooking up the ECUtuner to see what exactly is going on  . I can not stress enough how important true information is in diagnostics....
Then I would check how fast the fuel pressure builds up when you turn the key first time.
Is the oil contaminated with water? You can have the gas in the radiator analysed for exhaust contamination.... a clear indication of potential head gasket problems...
There's just so many things to check and a lot of info needed.
Kind regards,

everything OEM stock...everything in place....just like new cars when warm
smoke is white-grayish...2-3 secs of heavy smoke when turned on cold...then completely goes away
i'll try to take a vid of that as well
i will flush all fluids this weekend...hope it solves some issues
