It could be one of several problems. Depending on how old, how hot the engine runs, and mileage the engine has, it could be interesting to say the least. First, have someone check each of the cylinders for specified pressure limits both high and low. Have the head gasket checked next if the cylinders are within specification for the car. If that's not it, you could possible have a bad valve, because you CAN have only one go bad. If the gasket is cracked or broken, have it replaced and the cylinder head and vale face GENTLY resurfaced because they may be slightly out of square. If the piston/cylinder pressure is low and the oil feels like it has grit in it, or the oil is really black, you'll have to have the engine rebuilt or replaced. Rebuilding an engine takes time and should only be done by a qualified shop. Engine replacement takes a few days and can be done in your own garage with the right tools.

yes its your valve cover gasket, it could be your valley pan gasket, or your piston ring gaskets. it could also be possible that your lifters are leaking. but that depends on how many spark plugs are covered.

if it smokes bad while driving it could mean the piston rings are shot. weigh the cost of fixing that versus the value of the car..good luck man!!

its either that or get your rings on your pistons replaced which would probably be alot cheaper than buying a new car
