Sounds like piston rings to me. How many miles has it covered ?
Valve stem oil seals tend cause exhaust smoke when you off the throttle on over-run in my experience.
You need a get a leak down test performed. In this test the cylinder is pressurised with compressed air then the time it takes for the cylinder to return to a certain pressure is measured. I don't know what the leak rate value should be on a Mustang by the tech doing the job should.
A compression test is not very informative because even worn rings will still pump up the pressure in the cylinder.
