Default Exhaust Smoke

Recently I noticed some smoke coming out of the right side exhaust. When I accelerate it comes out heavier then trails off. It's a 289 4bbl and I had the heads redone a couple of years ago. Car still runs fine but I'm wondering what could be causing it. Also noticed the oil pressure droping a little when I idle after the car has been running.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Wayne

is it mostly after you start it up after it has been sitting for a few hours? If it has a little bit of a blue tint to it you mostly likely have valve stems leaking.
