Out on training course on w/end... dropped a cylinder, cleaned the plugs and #4 was well coated in oil, went for quick run, sweet on flat, hit a hill of 30-40 degrees and blowing blue smoke....
No problems on the way home, or since... any ideas?..
Oil seems to be running back in under gravity...

could be as simple as a crook lead or plug, when not firing, the oil don't burn off well....lets hope it hasn't blown a valve or rings....
