yes it is oil if it is blue. How much smoke? are you spraying for mosquitoes or just puffing on hard throttlr punches?

how much oil are you losing in, lets say a 3 hr ride?
Trying to find out if it is a broken ring or just worn out rings

the most important thing is: did it start smoking suddenly? or was it progressive? If it was suddenly, were you riding real hard?
