Ok I'll try thatNormally if it is leaking oil through the valve guides it will blow blue smoke out of the tail pipe when you first crank it up and after it sets parked for several hours and you crank it again. You can pull the spark plugs and you will have oil build up on the side of the porcelain part of the plug that points up towards the valves. The oil drips down through the guide when the motor is off and the valve is open. I went through this before. Just my 2 cents worth.
Okcolor of smoke tells you something:
black-too much fuel
white- too much air
blue- burning oil
worn rings burn oil constantly, blue smoke on start up is most likely oil dripping down valve seals into combustion chamber
a compression test will tell you how things are holding up, and whether some cylinders are farther along than others
