I have recently changed my oil in my jeep, and lately I have had problems starting it I have to turn it over around 5 times before it starts. Also I have white smoke and a water like shoot coming from my tailpipe

Sounds like a leaking head gasket. Antifreeze burns white. Sounds like water is leaking into one of the cyl's after being shut off and that makes it hard to start. I just worked on one like this and they can be hard to diagnose because sometimes pressure testing does not show a drop in pressure but I am pretty sure that is what you are looking at. LEt me know what comes of it Curt
