Oily smoke that gets worse when you floor it usually means the piston rings are worn out. But do check that the PCV valve is not clogged up.

The oil leaking from the end where the belts are is probably the front crank oil seal. It's not too difficult to replace but kind of a waste of time if the engine is worn out anyway.

lol.... is this a stock motor? if it is, i would look into a new platform... like a b-series...

if you've already got a swap in there.... and mechanically inclined... rip it apart and replace the main seals alon with the pan gasket...... maybe some high compression pistons and forged rods too

you don't have much choice... sounds like the engine needs a re-build... might as well get a cheap used long block.... $300-500 and install it yourself.

To drive until summer or whenever you can afford to replace the engine, buy a case of oil and keep topping up as necessary.

I'd use 10W40 or even 20W50 (the "you need a new motor motor oil") as it is thicker and won't get used up quite as fast.
