Nice deal but in the smoke maybe

Okay. Let me just start by sweet to join folks. I purchased my first 2nd gen for pennies almost but it has an issue I would love to take care of. I bought it knowing that the clutch was bad but after getting it to my garage and studying it a little closer I don't think it has a bad clutch but a bad rear main seal leaking oil on to the clutch. Minor issue to me at this point in time. Anyways, my question I'm seeing bounced around in different threads here is this. The car smokes out the exhaust from the engine internal and it's not all of the time. If you start it everyday you're fine but if you miss a day or let it set a week it smokes steady but if you shut it off and re-start it the smoke goes away. I was thinking to myself that it's the oil seals on the rotors but I'm stumped. I was looking to buy the master rebuild kit from Atkins but I feel that there are a few important things not included in the set that I may be needed as well. So, if there's any bored or informative rotary people out there that can give me some advice I am more then hoping to hear from you. Thanks
