thats whats called blowby. means that oil is leaking past your rings. if you're lucky, it'll be new rings. if not, you're gonna be replacing the pistons. an easy way to tell which cylinder its coming from is to run it, park it, then pull the spark plugs. you'll be able to easily tell which cylinder its coming from by the blue smoke.
