Those two things have duck analogies: quacks like a duck & walks like a duck.
In the duck case, it probably is a duck.
In this case, the smell of burning oil & the blue (oil) smoke, indicate that there probably is an oil leak.
Step #1: find the source of the smell and the smoke. If burning oil, is it burning on an exhaust manifold, or on a down pipe.
Step #2: find the source of the oil leak.
Step #3: decide what part(s) need to be changed/repaired to eliminate the leak.
