Default my jeep is making me mad already

ok so it seems the only place that its still leaking is somewhere right above the transmission mount. i think its oil and not tranny fluid, but it could be both, or one or the other. it doesnt look too red so im assuming its oil.

yesterday i drove it all day and it was driving good, but it seemed to be smoking alot from the exhaust (white smoke)

i was going to drive it to work tonight, so i decided to check the oil before i started it, and it looks to be pretty low and i recently changed the oil. so between the leak, and if thats oil thats burning white (idk if it is or not) theres not alot left, so i took my other car to work. this jeep is supposed to be my daily driver! i just need to get everything running good so i can drive it!!!

Does your oil look milky?
Oil in the antifreeze?
Sounds like a head gasket..
