smell of oil

my rex smells like oil when im running it, just out of the tail pipes though, my question is, is the smell of oil normal and if not how do i fix it or just make it so it doesnt smell as bad as it does and what type of engine oil is the best for the 1990 RX-7?( for the summer or year around)
thanks for your time

Is there any smoke? If not, then don't worry about it.

My TII has a slight nutmeg burning smell, but I think that's just what a boosted car with near straight pipes and no heat shielding smells like
