Smoking problem

[MAKL502]

I have a 94 3.2 liter. I having some smoking problems. It wasn't doing this at first when it was given to me from my grandpa but recently when driving it smokes from the engine comportment. The gauges do not read that the engine is hot, the fluid is all new and maintained but it continues to smoke, bad when I getting off the highway. I'm not sure what its is. I also have a exhaust leak, and I think that is contributing and or to my power. It doesn't take off as quick when I first got it and I know the exhaust has gotten bigger when I bout to fix this weekend but I wanna know if anybody has had problems with there SHO smoking in the past, I'd like to know what action i should take, I have a idea but I'd like to know from y'all since this is a SHO forum lol. Thanks

most likely you have leaking valve cover gaskets. along with the smoke from oil leaking onto the exhaust manifolds, you likely have oil in the spark plug wells, which is contributing to your low power problem.

you also likely have leaking cam seals, which can also leak down onto the exhaust.

I recommend changing valve cover gaskets, cam seals, plugs and wires.
