Muffs' Blowing Smoke!!!!

Well here I go again,

My car thinks it is smoking a cigarette. It litterally billows smoke out the back of it. What is my problem? I know I have a leak in the muffler somewhere and I did go down and there is oil on the back of the muffler. However, it isn't shooting oil out the back and the oil that is there is really old. Could I need to change my muffler system and if so what would be the best one to go with beside stock? If it isn't the exaust system than what could it be?

**** **** **** **** **** ****. Damn it that sucks. Ow well the car is going to cost me way below blue book value when it is done. Could it be my oil injectors since once I reach 4-5th gear it stops blowing smoke. I didn't think O-rings could go just like that but I guess it is possible. Ow yea, I am not going to rebuild that thing because it is just easier to drop a new motor. If anyone has any good suggestions on internet sites where I can get a new motor than please give me a hollar.
