1st problem is either valve seals, or piston rings most likely. I would do a compression and a leak down test to confirm.

2nd problem I have no idea. I don't own an AT. When I did, I never beat on it assuming it would break immediately.

Oily smoke that gets worse when you floor it is from the rings. Basically you'll need a new engine to get rid of it. You can drive like it is for a long time but keep an eye on the oil level so you don't run out.

if it could only be the rings then why is my compression test good wich from what i understand is how you check the rings and if its the rings then why would i need a new engine to fix it why wouldnt new rings fix it?

Its possible but highly unlikely that JUST the rings are worn out. Usually by the time your rings are that worn (to let oil into the combustion chamber to burn) your cylinder walls are all scored and damaged as well.

With how inexpensive the motors for these cars are, I don't see a lot of point in spending hundreds (if not >1k) to have someone fully rebuild the motor to repair all that damage, when a replacement could be had for less.

I'm sure I missed something in my ring description, feel free to tell me I'm wrong if anyone else has info
