Agree on the oil leak onto the exhaust as the likely culprit ... Had the same issue a coupla years ago.
RTV can be good stuff .... but I would bang a felpro gasket in there ..

I hate watching simplicity and reliability being ruined by bureaucracy and technology.

So on the drive back to Portland I had some smoke again... but MORE
I was on my way to the gas station less than a mile away. Looked under and lots of oil on the cat.
After it cooled down a bit, I discovered the screw next to the firewall ~ securing the valve cover was almost falling out!
Tightened it and not as much smoke (after the rest cooked off) & I didn't have to top off after another 125 miles.
Gonna swap out the gasket and see if that's my biggest issue
Be strong when you are weak.
Be brave when you are afraid.
Be humble when you are victorious.
But be a badass everyday!
