A little more info: The car does smoke a little on startup, but runs fine and doesn't smoke any other time.
Go find a big hill drive down it reasonable fast then lift off the throttle, let the car slow using engine braking then watch the mirror and get back on the gas.
If it's Stem seals it'll Smoke.
