1994 ford laser i just bought it so i serviced it, changed the air, oil and fuel filter and changed the oil and spark plugs. I noticed a fair amount of oil where the spark plugs go in and after the service it white smoke now billows out of the exhaust. When you rev the car a alot of smoke comes out. What could be wrong, some one said it could be an oil ring and it will only just burn extra oil nothing to worry about or maybe the cylinder is broken.

Hi there,

White smoke is usually coolant in the exhaust, oil smoke will be bluish, do you have any issues with coolant loss, check this first.
