the engine is just old. some people say its the charger, so look inside the observation port (4 bolts under the throttle cable). if you see a ton of oil it's the supercharger.

if it looks relatively clean, it's the valve seals. just drive it and forget about the smoke. the more you touch the engine, the more you will end up fixing. if MPG is good and you are not burning oil (check the dipstick every 1000km) then just drive it since there is no mechanical implications, only cosmetic.

and even if you throw in a few $5 bottles of oil in the thing throughout the year, that is still cheaper than a $1500 supercharger
