Spitting oil & white smoke out of exhaust!
Since day 1 of purchase, I've been told white smoke appears from the exhaust tips & at times spits out oil from a little to about entirely to much. Lately its gotten worse. Not sure where to start and go about fixing. Its my daily driver and my home, can't have it dying or acting up on me.
Also, since its spitting out my oil from the exhaust tips, should I just be refilling my car with the proper amount of oil or leave it till fixed? My car isn't being driven since I'm unsure and don't want to damage it more than it is
Any help & tips into the right direction is very & greatly appreciated.

Is it actually oil coming out the exhaust, or is it water vapor mixing with the black carbon deposits that are stuck to the inside of the exhaust pipes?
My car has always had some vapor (clearish smoke. Known for a fact NOT to be coolant) come out the back upon start up, no matter what the ambient temperature is. It's like what you see from cars during winter/colder months. Also, some water droplets mix with the carbon deposits and shoots out the back a bit. Keep in mind that I have a test pipe (no catalytic converter).
Burning coolant and oil is VERY distinguishable when coming from the exhaust. Significant amounts of COOLANT usually produces thick, white, somewhat sweet-smelling smoke. Significant amounts of OIL usually produces thick, blue-ish, bad smelling smoke.
