Bit more smoke in exhaust
Good day all, Ive noticed as the engine warms up, a bit more smoke exits the exhaust. Ive been told that im burning more oil than normal. COuld this be a compression issue? Leaky ring? Blown seal? Any input is greatly appreciated

Have you determined whether it is smoke or steam? It makes a huge difference in how you proceed.Who told you? How would they know? What is your current oil consumption rate (volume/running time) compared to what you have previously experienced as normal? Have you inspected the spark plugs?

Yes, as Neil points out, so many factors involved. Give us more details and a timeline of the events. It's cold out now. even combustion vapor is more visible now that it's winter.
