Default Need some help

My car has been sitting for the past 4 months (I just got back in the states last night). I went to start up my car (1990 coupe) and was blowing some blue smoke off of the front right part of the motor by the header/valve cover. It was continuous, so there is definitely an oil leak. It was getting dark, so I couldn't really determine where it was coming from (saw it at the gas station). The second problem is that the interior lights won't shut off. I tried pushing in the door switches, but they still wouldn't go off. Anybody have any ideas or dealt with either of these problems?

Thanks,
Jeff

On that oil leak a good visual will likely show up the problem.

Did the interior lights stay on after you started the engine; otherwise there is a 30sec time delay? If they stay on indefinitely it could be either the hatch open or one of the door ajar switches.
