Blue, ditto that except I get a small puff not a fog of smoke on the start. My spark plug color is good (dark tan) no smoke at cruise or accel. I do see a drop or 2 of oil on the threads of a couple of plugs when I remove them. There are no leaks from the valve cover that would contribute to the oil found in this area. Must be internal. Compression within 3-5 psi down the line. Not looking like rings. Hoping we get a few more posts to confirm a type (with p/n) of seals we could try. It will certainly be the least $$$ fix. Keep me posted on your progress & I will do the same....Duce
