I've searched the threads and found very useful information although my question is my car was running perfectly fine until the day it began throwing smoke out of my exhaust. I've read up on its either the valves or the piston rings. But one thing no one mentioned was the hose that connects from my intake pipe to the valve cover was drenched in oil. i did a compression at hot tempetures and it ran with 150-60-150-150. now im pretty sure it can very well be either rings or seals but could something else be wrong. say the pcv valve, it just seems I have high oil pressure. just thought id get some insight. also the smoke coming out my exhaust is white/grayish and increases when im at WOT. there is a small amount of smoke while im idiling. Before I tear apart the motor i would just like to make sure its not something small persay needing a catch can or the pcv valve. on a side note, my car isnt overheating so i dont believe its a headgasket. i also looked in the pistons through where the spark plugs go and only 2nd piston looked wet, while the rest were dry. i installed ngk spark plugs went driving for about 2 miles, took them off and all spark plugs were filled with oil.
