^^^ i second that

is it smoking after the car warms up for like 30+ minutes, ussually these engines are solid, i doubt its your head gasket. But most like piston rings.

Basically it happens when the car warms up the rings shrink allowing oil to seep in to the cylinders, in other words you can go out and fix it but your engine is messed.

I suggest an easy fix, see if it will resolve your problem, do an oil change, if that doesnt fix your problem, get thicker oil, and when i mean thick, get it thick. It will work just as fine, you just have to remember to let your car warm up for 10+ mins every morning
