Get the engine hot, let is cool a bit and spray it with Gunk Degreaser.. Leave 5 minutes and spray it again. Then hose it off. Drive the car and the smell will dissipate. After a few days, look for the leak again.
have a compression test done to check for head gasket problems . check for cracked head . Check for corroded faces where the coolant can get into the exhaust system . a pressure test done and check for leak behind the water pump body. Check for leak in the heater core.AS to the oil pressure problem replace the oil sender unit and check for the results.
Sounds like the valve guides are leaking oil into the cylinders, or there is a coolant leak somewhere. Usually white smoke is coolant but could be oil. Are you adding either fluid often ?
If you added three gallons of coolant you must have a leak somewhere. Those motors were notorious for intake gasket leaks. Take a good look at the corners of the intake where it meets the cylinder head. Check the oil and make sure it's not milky. Usually when the intake gasket goes it seems to leak externally but it's possible it could leak into the engine and end up in the oil pan which will prove to be disastrous if you continue to run the motor with that oil in it.
