I wouldn't be attempting to change an oil pump on a hunch.
Blue could be rings letting oil slip buy and be burnt in the cylinder.
A head gasket is the seal between the engine block and the head. As the head and engine heat up, there is expansion and contraction going on.
Why don't you take it somewhere and have them check out your engine, you really should have had that done that prior to purchase. What is your compression in each of the cylinders?
Thanks

Hopefully they've actually done it, and not practicing on your car.
I also would love to install a sunroof for my car but not sure where to look or what type to put in. I would like to get one that is made for a gt.
Thanks, Jack

Get it checked out and fixed fast, before the coolant ruins the engine.
White smoke is coolant.
Confirm your color smoke, and address as appropriate
White smoke (like steam) is definitely a head gasket problem. There doesn't have to be water in your oil. There can also be oil in the radiator, or nothing at all (since the leak isn't bad enough yet and it's all burned up).
If the smoke is BLUE, this is probably oil burning, either from valve stem seals, valve guides, or internal engine wear (rings).
If the smoke is BLACK, this is an over-rich mixture, and has many causes but all related to fuel delivery and ignition, and more easily correctable than the other two situations.
Help please, Liz!
