Nice introduction, who are you, tell us a little about who you are, what you do, Pictures of your bike and how long you have been riding you get the idea.

No if it was the rings it would smoke all the time. Maybe valve stem oil seals or Valve guides.

and Welcome to the dog pound

I think you are looking at the wrong thing Nick. In order to replace the valve oil seal you have to take the valve springs off. You can't very well tell by just looking. You may need to have a valve job done. Tell the shop to replace the valve guides and seals. In order to do that you will have to take the heads off. Good Luck
