Grey Smoke

I have grey smoking coming out of my engine. It doesn't happen everytime i started it, but once I start it it keeps coming out. The longer the engine runs the more smoke starts to build up. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Does it smell like engine coolant? Could be a blown head gasket. Check to see if your coolant is getting low, or if your oil is turning milky.

Think its defintely oil. You get oil on your hands when you put it in the exhaust. Checked compression thats fine.

Are you sure it's not just running rich on those times? If it were rings or valve guide seals, it should do the same thing every time, running rich will definitely make 'er smoke.

Ya defintely not running rich, I have widebands in there. And it smokes all the time once it starts. Ran the car again this afternoon and no smoke. We are thinking maybe the oil got overfilled, but its hard to say.
