and valve stem oil seals can be checked by whiping the cam cover off , if there still soft n maluable then there fine if there hard n brittel then they idealy need changeing and normaly means a head rebuild
some one else must have another few ideas
im not great with these engines but wouldnt the valve stem seals smoke on start up and piston rings smoke when driving and he has no smoke.
