Hello, I had just recently bought a 1999 Chrysler Sebring with a 2.5l V6 Mitsubishi Engine. It was working well and fine until I merged back onto the freeway from getting fuel. It then appeared to have switched a gear, or stuck. Nonetheless, the major problem arises from the white smoke blowing from the Exhaust and the Oil Intake on the engine is quite smoky when I take it off to add Oil. I have a hunch that it is a blown Head-Gasket or Oil Rings, but I'm not too sure and don't want to get ahead of myself. I simply want a remedy to my situation as I'm not mechanically-inclined myself. Pictures of under the hood can be available, and more information to help is available on request. Thank you.

Have you checked all the fluid levels? Was anything low?

Oil was a little low, but not dangerously low, and since then I have added oil, a couple times I might add, and it looks like it's burning through the oil.

You probably should do a compression test and maybe pressure test the cooling system.

OK. One thing I did just find out is that when I slam the hood to close it, while the engine is running, it shuts the car off.
