small chevy 350 oil out of exhaust

just need some insight about a small block 350 v-8 crate motor.

Seems to be that I'm burning oil or, upon a cold start blue smoke out of exhuast. I have had the truck in storage for past two plus months, but I went over to start it up and opened the door to let exhaust out and what I got was blue smoke and black carbon spots on the snow. exhaust pipe is carbon black too.

I do not know the wet or dry compression values.

but i do have an oil leak from what appears to be the rear main seal. From what I am told that is typical of these 350's..

Motor has 53,000 miles on it.

Where else could oil be making it into the compression chambers? valves? rings?

thoughts?

I haven't pulled the plugs to see if they are carbon or oil fouled. Starts great, runs very smooth - no ticking, or misses.
