Oil seal, I bet. Blue smoke = burning oil. Got the $1000+ for a rebuild?

Yep. Burning oil means that it is getting into the combustion chambers. The only way for that to happen on a rotary is if the oil injectors suddeny start flowing 10x their normal ammount (joke) and if there is a leak/crack in the oil seal(s). Good luck man

The oil seals can leak under pressure. My 83 12A put out a smokescreen over 5.5-6K.

Try Bardahls "NO Smoke"

I heard that "Bardahls" "No Smoke" oil additive helps stop oil burning. Anyone tried this on a rotary?

Its this really thick agent that you add to the engine oil. I'm thinking that it might work but I wonder if it will thicken the oil too much and cause the oil injectors to clog or maybe it won't burn too well on the combustion chambers?

What do you guys think?
