Exhaust smoke

Hey guys , common question here. But different scenario I believe. If I let my vehicle park on a forward incline , then start up, I get oil exhaust smoke. Then if I drive a few min, stop and lightly Rev, no smoke. Think seals or something is going bad or not to worry. Currently using convention oil 5w30, copper plugs gapped .032 ish. Rest of mods in sig.

Thanks again

Even says in the manual to use Mobil 1 full synthetic, even if you don't use Mobil 1 still use full synthetic.

It doesn't do that on flat ground? Or you always park it on that incline?

I change my oil very frequently , and I generally park it flat , but was parked on a incline this time that I noticed the exhaust smoke , and could smell it. So far few days later I haven't seen or smelled it again

How many miles? Usually after 100k the valve seals start to drip a little oil in the cylinder when it sits. Doesn't really hurt anything.

I have roughly 65k ... I'm starting to think its a valve seal myself. I recently did compression test and came back 150-160ish across all 4 . Slightly lower than optimal perfect but still good I believe.
