Upon concluding a repair of the pump-to-rack power steering lines, I noticed a "tick" in the motor at low RPM. I opened the hood, and noticed that a small vacuum line on the intake manifold (just below the coolant lines) was no longer attached. I replaced this line, and after about 30 seconds, the tick went away. More importantly, after driving the car about 400 miles at this point, I have had NO smokey start-ups. I am wondering if this was my issue (somehow sucking oil into the intake, perhaps?). At any rate, she seems to be going strong for now. Thanks to everyone for the posts, very helpful!
Nik.
