Probaly Warped Alluminum Head and Head Gaskett Is Blown alowing water into oil . When the grey smoke come out the exaust that was it's last call.The Car cannot get enough compression to start is why you hear the whinning noise. I would check oil for water or water for oil. Now sometimes checking oil with dip stick wont do it cause the oil will set on top of the water. Best way to check is drain oil and watch what comes out? If head gaskett and head is warped both will have to be replaced with new., an expensive job. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but this is my oppinion.
plugs, are you seeing oil in the air filter? if yes than the tapp cover gaskets and passenger side flow hose is clogged dumping oil and causing misfire. change gaskettes and clean hose
ok not to hard to replace you need to go to auto store and buy a new one. it may or may not come with new gaskett they can tell you what size you need if it dosent come with a new one. also you will need to drain the oil before removing the old pan so make sure to buy new oil for that.. your basicly doing an oil change so you may as well get new oil filter too. then after you have everything... new pan, oil, oil filter, gaskett.. just get under take out oil plugg drain oil in catch can. remove the oil pan bolts you may have too tap the oil pan in different directions to get it to drop off. clean away old gaskett if you need to, and replace new gaskett and oil pan, lay new gaskett ontop of new oil pan and hold in place to get a couple bolts started then start and tighten all bolts useing a cross bolt tightining pattern to make sure the pan is in place{ tighten one bolt then do opposit bolt} change oil filter, and refill with oil.. if you need to see this done youtube is an excillent place to find videos on this.. i hope this helps... remember to let the car cool before doing this so get everything you need and start the next day before you drive.. nothing worse that getting hot oil down you arm while your laying on the ground...
More than likely (and hopefully) it is the timing chain cover gasket. Common problem on Tauruses with the Vulcan V-6. Had the same problem. Replaced gasket and leak stopped. Not cheap if taken to a mechanic, but is doable if you have some experience and the equipment.
I'd say yes if all else is o.k. Go to (www.repairpal.com ) and enter vehicle info & repair to be performed & it will give you an average price of repairs in your area.
if you change the the gaskett should be good probley cost 20 bucks if you do it your self. if its still leaking it could be a rear main seal.its a simple task
If it is milky it is coolant due to bad head gaskette.
If it looks like durt oil needs to be changed.
You can also check the oil dip stick fo deposition.
