Mufflers do not smoke or leak oil, they only pass combusted fuel and air mixture from your engine. If you are experiancing smoke and oil, you have a worn engine cylinder and pistons. The engine will need to be removed, torn down and inspected for worn parts. Replace any worn engine componets with new parts, hone or rebore the engine cylinder.
By replacing the worn parts you will restore your engine back to manufacture specs, and it will run clean and smooth..

Can a hole in the muffler cause a car to smoke?
Just having a hole in the muffler won't cause smoke to form. Any smoke coming from an engine is caused by either environment changes (white smoke while engine is warming up), or an engine burning oil (blue smoke). Sometimes even a bad catalytic converter can cause smoke. The hole in the muffler simply gives the smoke a way out. Trying looking for external oil leaks or checking he oil level occasionally to see if it is burning oil. You may see water vapor is there is a hole in the muffler but it wouldn't last long once the muffler warms up and the moisture is burned off. She shouldn't see actual smoke unless there is a problem with the engine.
