Sounds like it could be the head gasket but it's rare for one to go on these engines.
The oil burning smell could be whatever oil is on the outside of the engine burning as the temps rise when booting it and if it's a bit of steam coming out the rocker that could be whatever water as condensed in the engine boiling off?
Is the car getting through water, oil, is there any oil in the expansion tank and is the cooling system pressurising a lot more then usual?
