My car started to miss every once and a while.
then the sparkplug broke. I replaced the pugs and wires. When I started the car up it had a small knock that went away after a few minutes. But everytime I start the car it knocks for a while and blows white smoke out the tailpipe as long as the car is running. The coolant level is fine, but it does burn a small amount of oil. Could you help me figure this out?

Hi there,

When you say the spark plug "Broke" did it actually break or just stop working?
Is the Knock in the valve gear? Listen with a large screw driver to you rear and the blade on the rocker cover, this will act as a stethoscope and you will hear noises clearer, listen along the rocker cover for any noise.
