My truck had been using oil and smoking for a while, especially out the passengers side tailpipe. I put a set of headers on it the other day, and since it has been getting worse. I had been noticing spots of oil on the driveway where I parked it, so I decided to take a look.

This is what I saw when I looked under the truck.

I popped the hood, and saw that the cylinder 2 primary had some signs of leaks where it connected to the head.

My dad and I figured it was either a valve seal or something in the cylinder. I pulled the plug....

Its something in the cylinder :doah:
 
I'd run a leakdown test on that cylinder, and/or pull the valvecover.

You'll pull oil into the cylinder if the intake valve isn't opening for some reason, along with the other obvious causes.
