could be your o-rings...how bad is it? if i were you i would try seafoaming it (you wanna see some smoke??...hhaha its good smoke though it means its cleaning it out
 ) then changing your oil and getting some fresh in there..might help..if it's your rings its not worth pulling your whole engine apart to just put new ones in...it wont really hurt the engine it's just annoying to see smoke commin out all the time...i know the feeling i have the same problem with my 87 camaro.

Blue smoke = burning oil.
White smoke = burning coolant. Get a pressure test done on your cooling system. More than likely you have a head gasket leak. Also have it tested both cold and hot. Because if it only leaks a little cold and a lot hot then you head is warping. |

This is mainly for the swapped folks that might come across a turbo leaking out the exhaust seals. It also causes white smoke. You most likely have a HG leak from what you are saying. --------------------  |
