The usual cause is worn valve guides/seals and/or worn rings. If there is too much oil up in the heads, it can make the car smoke. Years ago when I was young and inexperienced, I replaced the valve cover gaskets on my 1972 Skylark 350. I scraped off the old cork gaskets, and missed a few big pieces when cleaning out the heads. The result was blocked drain back holes. Oil was sucked down the guides and the exhaust would smoke blue.
