It could be one of several things. Is the smoke at idle or on acceleration? It's Just Eric's 94 L had bad valve guide seals and would smoke on startup. My 92 Ebony has weak rings and blows blue smoke on acceleration occasionally.

and to do valve seals would i have to take the engine out????

Yes, absolutely

my 92 needs valve cover gaskets... would i need to tear the engine out to do that as well?

No, it can be done in the car though it can be difficult the first time.

Answered your questions in the quote.
