    I will bet that if you find the oil consumption problem you will find the smoke issue. I would look at the compressor first is there any oil in your air tanks? Take the intake hose off the compressor check for oil. Does it have a lot of blow by ? Does it run ruff

    Lots of blow by, smoke, heavy oil use age. May be time to think about having her torn down. What color is the smoke coming from the blow by tube?
