yes, tie some cheesecloth at the tailpipe for a short while after the car has warmed up. Remove and sniff - does it smell like burnt oil (passing rings) or burnt antifreeze, possibly a leaking headgasket. This is definitely a very open ended question for a neophytpe step one clue. Having said that, I'm sure some Real Mechanics will chime in suggesting compression tests, carb adjustments, and full diagnostics. I just happened to come across your post with a half glass of good scotch still here.
