sounds like its got some blow by. Possibly bad rings. But if its burning oil the smoke should have a blueish tint to it.

That car has issues.

BTW, the real reason I posted is I saw your signature pic and was curious to see more; that SS actually looks badass "Murdered out" and I never thought I would say that about any car (except maybe the CTS-V)!
