ok, since I have got done with my project I have been noticing that I have to replace about a quart of oil every week and a half (roughly). it is not leaking, (I know its hard to beleive that a DSM is not leaking) and it doesn't smoke bad. it does smoke on start-up and when I get on it.... but according to the people that have seen the smoke, they say it is black smoke... and oil is blue smoke, so what is the most common opinion as to what the problem is???

valve guide seals, rings, ect.

Black smoke is fuel. Blue smoke is oil. Sweet smelling white smoke is coolant. Blue-black hazing is often seen on high boost apps, when at wot. My guess is the valve seals/guides. You blew no blue the other day in Pekin, except at start-up. You were hazing a bit, but I would consider that normal.
