Blown rings.

just curious how can u tell?

if your rings are bad you'll smoke like a mother since oil is getting past the rings into the combustion chamber...as you can tell this also destroys the entire "compression" ability of the cylinder too.

I bet if you pull your dipstick and smell the oil you'll smell gas in it too.
