does it smoke all the time? If it is the valve seals then more than likely it will smoke when you first crank the car up and in between shifts. It will smoke like a bluish color. If it smokes black in between shifts then thats running rich, so make sure it is smoking blue. If it is smoking a greyish white then it is more than likely your rings.

nope, if it was the valve seals it would stop smoking when it warms up. with rings, mine done this on the z6 and it smoked terribly.
