Default Mechanical issues ... NEED HELP !!!!!!

Found ugliness in my 2G Lude.
A friend told me that my Lude blows out Blue/White smoke when driving.
I smell fried oil occasional but the oil pressure is ok, the oil level does not change from week to week and the car temp is stable .... please help ASAP!!!!!!

you need to do a compression test and a leakdown test

does it smoke more at high rpms or low???

high rpms usually means bad rings

low rpms usually means bad valve seals

It starts at 3500 RPM plus and comes out of the tailpipe like a tornado motion.
What does a compression and leakdown test bnormally run?
Someone told me it may be a head gasket, how much truth is in that?

Found no Water in the Oil so I'm not to sure its the Head Gasket.
Are there specific places that I should take my Lude to do the Comp. & Leakdown Test or is this a normal mechanic shop thing?
