Default Blue Smoke

hey guys i know my 90 accord has bad valve seals because in the winter when i start it up it smokes blue for a good minute or two. but a few months ago it started smoking a lot just when i drive. basically anything after 3000 rmps it smokes blue and i was just wondering if that is just the valve seals or are the piston rings fried too? also could it be a blown head gasket? because i have noticed a bit of oil coming right out of where the head meets the block

could most likely to be your piston rings do a compression check that would be another way to find out

that could be it to just do a compression check to see if u get between 160-180 across 180 for our f motors meaning it it has full compression anything WAY lower then 160 prolly means its time for a new headgasket
