Loosing oil

I recently bought a 1994 volvo 770 and am very happy with the car as it seems n excekllent nick and i can fit all my (expanding) familly in its spacious interior. I have just discovered it is loosing oil massively. Ive put the car over a pit and there is oil over the bell housing but the sump looks clean. It has also started to smoke a lot. Am i looking at a head gasket and crankshaft seal problem or is it a breather issue? Please help.

Rocker gasket, rear camshaft seal (inside distributor cap), head gasket or blocked PCV system are the main causes to eliminate. You could also have misinterpreted your cars details, (no such thing as 770 and 740s finished in 1991, 1992 in USA/Canada). All the best, Peter. :car-smiley-031:
