Special thanks, as the continuing information is valuable and of real interest.

smoke is essentially gone
No more blue smoke on startup, and the *only* thing I did was draw down the oil level from 1/4 over to 1/4 below full. I have to assume that the slight overfill plus the somewhat nose-down parking attitude caused the crankcase to flow into the forward couple of cylinders. It's hard to believe that the car would be so sensitive to a slightly too-much amount, but there you are.

With this engine 80K is very low for piston ring problems. [although anything is possible, unless you know full history]
Maybe the blue smoke is a combination of problems? The overfill, plus the off-level parking may be aided and abetted by one or more bad valve seals?

Our 94 smokes only when parked on our steep driveway. If parked on a flat area it's fine.
