He as a couple of worn valve seals. Nothing more.

White smoke on start up. Water in the exhaust. Condensation.
White smoke when running. Water in the combustion somewhere.
Blue smoke when letting off of throttle. Valve seals.
Blue smoke when taking off. Most likely rings.
Black smoke. Fuel mixture issues.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

Problem is that it's quite the ordeal to get to the intake valve seals...

I wouldn't worry about it unless you are loosing more then normal amount of oil.

Yeah, might just experiment with different oils to minimize it.

At least you're not a crop-duster.

You ever get behind someone, who is blowing out a trail of blue smoke the whole time you are behind them.
