You need a new head gasket... which more than likely would account for that sound... I wouldnt drive it too often (at all) on a blown head gasket... youre bound to warp the thing...

Your oil is probably coming from your valve cover. Just take it off and put a fresh gasket on it. Clean it up and see if you get anymore oil after you drive it. If you had a head gasket leak or damaged block, you would see a lot of color in your exhaust. White=water, grey=oil, black=gas (running too rich). If your oil light is on and you have oil in the engine, it is either the sending unit or your oil pump is out. If your pump is out, you would hear a lot of noise from the engine, like everything is loose.

Gary could be right too... I didnt think to ask if it was smoking at all... if its not, it could very well be the VC gasket... which is an easier fix... cheaper too.

Fishing string does work too, for badge lettering. Even an old ID card or the likes (after you get it started off that is).
The point is to get something thin between the car and lettering. Stickers are going to take more effort and time. Heat will work better for those.
Oh, one more thing..
