Sounds like oil. I would suspect valve seals. Rings usualy shows up in engine decel. it sucks oil past the rings.

Usually white amoke indicates that there is either condensation in the exhaust or you are getting antifreeze in the cylinder. Oil usually burns blue and black indicates carb trouble. Also White indicates transmission fluid gettting sucked into the carb on a car equiped with a vacuum modulator valve but that does not apply here. Check the plugs for aa white crusty deposits, if the coolant system checks out then i would say its the wd-40.

I wouldnt think it would be the valves needing adjusting, it usually causes hard starts. Check the plugs to see if there is a white chaulky deposits on it. I would lean more toward coolant getting in the cumbustion chamber. Maybe head gasket or something.
