Bad OMP?
What are the signs of a BAD omp...I think mines letting oil leak down into the engine or injecting way too much on start up.
My dad claims the white smoke is oil, I personally think its fuel (it smells sour and nasty...not sweet).

My dad said;
Fuel = Blue
Oil/Coolant = White
Personally, it smells like FUEL to me, but you never know. I guess it's time to re-do the intake side, I wish I would have had some money because I could have done is this week when I was sick.
Where does one get the gaskets and what not from? Is there any hp/tq improving modifications I can do while it's off (no welding please). I think I'm going to clean the 5th & 6th ports up and install the polished sleeves from Pineapple Racing.

there is nothing to seal on a 13b on the intake for fuel or coolant or oil that would be getting into the engine. Unless you just want to pull the intake to modify the 5t/6th ports then that is all you will be accomplishing.

Yes,
After I rev it a few times to about 3-4k rpms it stops stumbling and then I can drive it fine without smoke until I turn it off and go to start it up again, then its a random thing.
I tried to do the fuel hose thing and it still smoked.

Just in front of the left rear wheel along the frame rail. If you hear it running then the AFM is bad.

Well,
I tried the hose test again (by the intake manifold) and no smoke came out so I think it's leaky injectors because I tried the the remove the hose down on the rail too and no fuel came out when I turned the car to on.

if it's blue, your oil control seals could be getting old. that means you've been using your engine well
my '83 smoked on startup from the moment i bought to when i sold it 40,000mi later.
