plumes of oil burn on overrun/heavy vacuum

Bringing my '85 SPG back to life after a few months sitting sidelined, haven't had the time to work on it...
It was doing this a bit before I parked it but it's really bad now--going down a hill in gear at above 3500rpm with the throttle completely closed results in a huge, constant plume of oil burn coming from the tailpipe. It's pretty intense... then when you get to the bottom of the hill, it'll puff on the next few applications of more than a touch of throttle. The original turbo has absolutely zero shaft play. The head has never been off. It's got 245,000km on it, or 152,000 miles. Car goes like a stabbed rat, fantastic punch especially down low. Compression within spec and even across all four.
Valve stem seals? Guides? Worse?
Thanks for any input!
