if it smokes under load ie accelerating then its the rings mate,if it smokes on engine braking then its the stem oil seals.either way it isnt the end of the engine it just wont get better! i did have a mate who managed to sort his stem seals out with a bottle of wynns gasket and seal rejuvenator(sp) and it stopped it smoking for a year (ish). | |

Most likely piston rings, just keep an eye on your oil level wont really cause any damage will just get worse over time :( | |
