Oil consumption/burning and/or leakage

As I said in my question, there has been no effect on performance. Also, have got no idiot lights. Wouldn't a compression problem cause at least a miss or hesitation, or loss of power?

Thanks, guys. Will get back.

Finally got back to my car (sort of) yesterday. Started it up and did JDL's oil filler pipe test, and there was smoke from the oil filler.
An unexpected (to me) thing was that, despite all previous symptoms pointed to a problem on the driver's side, after sitting for about two weeks and having nothing done except removing and replacing the plugs and pcv vent tubes (did not take out he pcv valve), there was only relatively small amount of exhaust smoke and the most surprising development is that most of the smoke was from the right side?

No; I cannot. You are chatting with a 78-year-old dinosaur, who is trying to survive in today's world with an "antique" flip phone that is usually not on my person and when it is it is usually not on! Anyway, the episode of concern started suddenly, after I floored the 442 through first and second gears, which brought on big cloud of blue smoke from the left tailpipe, and the smoke continued through a 100+ mile trip, billowing thru either acceleration or deceleration, and continuing even at idle. Stopped twice to replenish oil. Now, after sitting for two weeks, starting and idling in the driveway, first at fast idle then at normal idle, a video would show you no dramatic billow of smoke, hardly any from the left tailpipe, where the apparent problem was evidenced before, and now some blue smoke from the right side nothing close to what there was originally from the other side. As I've said, I'm dumb at this stuff, but I have a theory: I didn't take the car out on the road, and didn't even get up to normal driving temperature, so my theory now is that the rings and/or seals don't pass a large volume of oil at "normal" pressure levels, although some, but when there is high pressure and temperature, as when I abused this old classic during my trip and continued at highway speed for an extended time, they failed. I plan to drive the car normally on errands or whatever and see what happens when it heats up. Then, maybe punch it and hold my breath, and see what happens. What do you think of my theory? Does it make any sense? I expect that the car will do fine through the rest of the summer if I don't abuse it. Then, in the fall I think it would be wise to take the car somewhere for their evaluation of whether we need to do a ring job, valve job, or whatever. I'm for putting it off until fall if I can, because it's a convertible and it's convertible weather! Don't drive it much at all in the winter, so if it needs to be "laid up" for a while winter's when to do it.
