Does it smoke out of the exhaust pipes or around the engine?
Is the smell definitely oil or is it just rich exhaust from not having a catalytic converter? A car without a cat will smell worse than one with it.
If the cat was removed, it's likely it was clogged, which points to an igntion coil/wire/spark plug issue. Can you see with the previous owner exactly what had happened? IF the ignition coils haven't been changed in the last 20-30k miles, you will definitely want to have them all replaced. Likewise for sparkplugs and wires.
The best way to know your engine health is a rotary compression test (a regular compression test won't do). Usually you can get that done at the Mazda dealer.
