Big car troubles with '98 Chrysler Sebring!?

White smoke comes out of tailpipe, a lot!!! If you put your finger in the tailpipe, you get a lot of oil on your finger. The car will not run in the rain. Problem is getting worse. It's like water gets into the engine and floods it or something. Have any idea at all what it could be??

    White smoke means you're burning coolant. You will need to have a block test done to confirm.

    More than likely the head gasket has failed but have it diagnosed to make sure.
