1.1 fiesta smoke

i have a 1.1 1993 ford fiesta over the past month or so it always smokes
(white) from the back of the exhaust on idle and when reved.
i have done an oil change no difference
and the level is ok.
can any one help me out

Now you are adding that it's white smoke so it's likely not oil if you
are correct. Thanks for adding one fact per day. By the end of next
week, perhaps someone can help you.

perhaps (white smoke you say) antifreeze is leaking into the
combustion... Head gasket most likely

cracked head
warped head
bad head gasket

Had any overheats lately? Was that an aluminum head on a cast block?

Sleep on. He's provided all the info he can this week. Next week we may
learn the mileage is 27,000, but the odometer never worked. His sister
rebuilt the engine 7 years ago and had one big gasket with three large
holes and some smaller ones left over.
Stay tuned.
