Sounds like this vehicle needs a good tune up and to be timed.
No
Yes, if it is leaking or if when it was replaced, oil leaked onto the exhaust or exhaust manifold.
yes, if the trans fluid is hitting the exhaust, but not out of the pipes coming from the outside of the pipes.
Regulate the carburetor and replace its gasket.

When an exhaust pipe is cool, the exhaust will start to allow water vapor to condense. If the exhaust is white you're seeing a vapor cloud; it's normal and unavoidable. Once the engine and exhaust are warm, the vapor cloud should stop.
Overheated, exhaust leak, oil leak on manifold-hard to speculate
i had a fuel leak
It depends whether it is petrol or diesel...If its diesel and is black smoke there is nothing to worry about. If its white smoke it could be the head gasket going, or a fuel problem. If its petrol it could be something a bit serious like a head gasket, exhaust, oxygen sensors or dirty injectors.
Could be oil leaking onto the exhaust, because the exhaust usually runs back there and then to the back of the car
Most people are saying that the "high mileage" oils are better for protecting gaskets and seals in your engine. However most recommend only using it if you've noticed soot or dark smoking coming out your exhaust. If the exhaust is clean and you're properly changing your oil regular oil should be fine.
is the smoke black? if a turbo smokes, you need to replace the turbo. smoking turbos means a bearing or seal has failed ,allowing engine oil into turbo. turb runs very hot ,which is where the smoking comes from. if the smoke is white it means you have a coolant problem .usually a head gasket which is allowing coolant into exhaust. turbos run on recycled exhaust
