I think vss's too. The extended idle plus a cloud of smoke on start off is a good diagnostic. Ditto the improved guides. The oil smell should be almost identical to what you smell when you drop oil on a hot exh mani. The gassy smell makes it possible you have a leaky injector washing the oil off the cylinder walls, too. Is the smoke bluish tinted? Is there marked oil consumption. I'm still worried about the water loss...

Up until recently it wasn't smoking at all. I haven't driven it much over the past couple of weeks, but before that once it was warmed up... no smoke. No marked oil consumption. There may be a slight] bluish tint to the smoke, but it's hard for this novice to tell...

Get the motor good and hot, and take the dipstick out and let a drop fall on the exh. mani and smell that, then compare to the tailpipe smell. The bluish tint will be slight, a gray-blue tint on whitish smoke. The smell is quite distinctive.
