how to tell the diff from this ? if it is the valve seal or the piston ring ? my motor had never been spray ed or turbo ed

 

well what color smoke ?

and yeah it could be piston rings valve seals or you could have even melted a valve.

 

Do a compression test and a leakdown test. From those two you will have a much better understanding of what is going on.

 

Valve seals would cause more of a puff of smoke at start up, after the car sat over night or for a long period of time. But with oil coming up from the valve cover then it's the rings...

 

oww well the smoke will be visible during hard driving like 6k+ I will see the smoke on my rear view mirror

 

Leakdown Test... and take it from there.
