Oil smoke upon deceleration is a sign of oil being sucked into at least one
combustion chamber under a high vacuum condition. The oil can only get there
through faulty valve stem seals, or past the piston rings.  A faulty valve stem
seal(s) will allow oil to seep down overnight, causing morning smoke. Faulty
ring seal is less likely to cause the morning smoke. If it's rings, it may
lessen with break-in miles.
