Re: smoking....
well i think you car has a bad habbit. but i would change out the seals for right now and see what you get. you can do that yourself and might be a little cheaper than rings. you can do a compression check and see if you have blow by in the cylinders. then do a wet check and see whats the difference.

Re: smoking....
I would start by investigating the PCV system. sometimes when the breather hose is crimped the vacuum of the intake side can draw in enough oil to cause smoke when the throttle is closed.
the compression check is the most valid thing to test.
