Hey Lynn==It is probably just tired and in need of an overhaul. It will probably chug along for some time but an overhaul is in order. GoodluckJoe
sounds like you have leaky valve seals. They are letting oil into the cylinder when the car sits still. There are tools that allow you to replace the valve seals without taking off the heads. If you have or can afford the tools, this is the way to go.
bad valve stem seals or oil return holes in the heads are blocked with sludge.

I think water is coming somehow to the system - because when I'm pushing a gas pedal while starting the engine sometimes knocks couple of times and a lot of white smoke is coming from the exhaust..then it suddenly stops. The longer after the rain the better it gets - engine knocks for a longer time....white smoke coming out of the exhaust...with me pushing a gas to max..until it starts. Any idea what could be wrong?
