you could have a leak in the piston rings that is leaking oil into the cover and there might also be a little leak on the cover creating smoke.. there are soo manythings but can't really say without any pics or more detail..

its called blow-by , just google and read about it. pull the dipstick , is it comming out of there too? your rings arent sealing properly. when the plug ignites the air/fuel mixture , the exhaust gasses are slipping by the piston into the bottom end of the engine.

never totally damaged man , unless you throw a rod through the block. everything else can be fixed for a price. he just needs rings , pistons and new holes badly. cost you about 500 bucks to make it new again if you do the labor yourself approx.
