Just recently bought a 98 eclipse all stock...couple of weeks ago it started to smoke and burning oil...dont know exactly what it is and what i should do...any suggestions

 

Open the oil fill while its running. Smoke blowing out? Could be blowby.

 

Where is the oil fill at...i dont know alot about cars...

 

Where you put the oil in. Open the hood, It will have a wonderfully marked little cap that says, "Oil"

is the smoke coming from the exhaust?

 

yes alot of it...not all the time but most of it...

 

Well this is what you do, open the oil cap, if smoke is being pumped out, then its blow by. Your piston rings are probably shot. You doing any racing/ high revs on the motor?

 

Alot of people are saying that it is the rings and that i just need to get a new motor...but cant i just get a knew block and get that put on and everything will be ok..or it also could be valve stem sills??? i dont know i dont race it at all i hardly even drive it

 

also my car non turbo

 

anyone else got any suggestions?>

 

Rings, most likely. Valve Stem seals usually cause it to smoke a lot on startup but the smoke will subside. Replacing the 'block' is much easier said than done. The 'block' is the entire engine pretty much. To replace the block, you have to do everything you would to replace the entire engine as itself then more. Let me know if you're looking to get it fixed.
