Engine, Power steering, and smoke problem.
My 94' 4x4 has an oil leak and needs a quart about every two weeks. There is no visible leakage spot underneath the engine, thinking it may be a cracked block. Also my power steering pump makes a loud noise when i put fluid in it. It as well has a pretty bad leak. Right after I put power steering fluid in it, and start my car it creates a smoke storm from my exhaust which stinks. If anyone can help out that would be great. Also any recall notices on my model would be great. Thanks.

Could be a blown head gasket, or worse, a cracked head. Check the oil and coolant to see if they are mixing. Quote:

I agree, sounds like your head gasket, and the engine is leaking oil into 1 or more of the cylinders.
I had the same problem with my 94 4Runner V6, had the head gasket replaced, that was 4 years ago, and haven't had a problem since. Can be very costly, depending on who repairs and replaces the head gasket. You'll soon notice white smoke coming out of exhaust pipe and a major loss of power from the engine. Plus the coolant will keep running out of the radiator into the engine. Be careful you don't toast the engine. Good Luck. OzzyO
