Could be either. Have you done a compression test?

When is it smoking, on throttle or when you get off throttle? If on it's rings, if off then it's seals.

Not unless you're really caning it round a track for example. Or you're driving a Ford CVH :lol:
If you rag it to 6k, let it come down the revs, the bury the throttle again, you'll probably get a big cloud of blue smoke. It's the stem seals. The vaccum in the cylinders sucks the oil past the worn valve stem seals.
Not a difficult job to replace them by the way, just time consuming.
its the atmospheric presure between inlet and exhaust had to study it at collage couple ov years ago
