We need to know what color smoke is coming out-Blue/While/Black

And what do you mean by this: I PUT SOME OIL IN MY CAR BUT IT RUN OUT OF IT FROM THE BOTTOM.

You sure the smoke is not being caused by the oil dripping on the exhaust pipe?

White smoke coming from it. The oil leaked from the the bottom of my engine I don't know where but when I looked down I just saw the oil I just put in my car on the ground.

White smoke indicates coolant is being burn in the combustion chamber-

Possible causes: Blown headgasket/Crack head or block
