After some minutes driving I began to notice a burnt smell fror the engine and today i poped the hood and saw some smoke coming from below the intake and exhaust manifold. Is it a blown head?
I also noticed that some oil is leaking from the back of the head, i thought it was from the rocker gasket but i already changed it and the oil keeps leaking and in the morning there`s always some oil on the floor. What should i do?

It could be a blown Gasket. I haven't heard of any A-series head itself being blown out, as can happen to some engines.
To check on the Gasket possibility, perform a compression check. If two cylinder are normal and two adjacent ones are low, that usually is caused by a blown head gasket.
