CURRENTLY:
I haven't started the car in about a month and rarely do as it sits until spring or until there is some nice weather. I haven't dove into the car myself since it's over an hour away from where I live but I've been gathering a bit of info on some outstanding issues. -oil leaks- imagine that.

ISSUE(s):
Right now it has some black smoke that comes out of the exhaust especially at first start then it kinda goes away once it warms up but not to the point where I'm comfortable driving it. Cylinder 1 is leaking oil and I believe the spark plug had some oil on it as well.

SOLUTION(s):
I will be replacing the valve seals (previous owners recommendation) and inspect the current spark plugs and replace them with new ones if need be. Someone mentioned pulling the oil pan to make sure everything looked good there too.

QUESTION(s):
Is the integrity of the head gasket in question here?
Are there any other seals, gaskets or O-rings I should look into replacing?
Any oil lines I should upgrade or replace OEM?
Based off the info provided what else pops into mind?

Thank you, take care.
