Oil Seal Blues...

Well my car has been off the road since just before winter, I was gonna probably pull it anyways so I havn't had a problem with it, due to the amount of oil being dumped into the engine causing blue smoke and lack of idle. Now that I have access to a shop and I can pull my engine and have the tools needed to rebuild my engine I need to know what parts I'm going to need from a rebuild kit.
Rotaryaviation.com has a basic overhaul kit for $509usd BUT I don't know if I need the Rotor Oil Seal Set that is only available in the master overhaul kit, or even if I could just cheat via a simple o-ring kit since I know all my seals are probably still good. I'm thinking since my car was spouting so much blue smoke before I took it off the road that it has to be some sort of oil seal, but I don't know if it's rotor oil seals or front or rear main oil seals.
Can anyone shed any light on how I could figure this out before I pull my engine apart, or even if blowing Rotor Oil Seals is fairly uncommon.
Thanks in Advance.

Only true way to tell is it rip it apart and find out which seal you need exactly. Rip it apart then pay for 2 day shipping from rotary aviation..
