Interesting lead. Does anyone know where AOS on these engines and what kind of labor is involved in replacing it? However, I don't see any signs of burning oil cold or hot.

More like fuel, I have not noticed anything but white smoke and it completely clears out after couple minutes of driving. It set off monoxide detector in my garage the other day.

Gotcha. It could be a leaky injector.
