Hello, I just recently bought a 1995 Ponitac Firebird, it started overheating on me, and I been keeping water in it. But now it started smoking white smoke, when I opened the hood it was smoking from underneath the motor, it had oil on the exhaust and on the bumper. What could be wrong?

Sounds like a bad headgasket, warped head or cracked block to me to be honest.

Since it was using up cooalnt and overheating, sounds very much like a headgasket issue, white smoke is definetely that or a error with powersteering or transmission.
