engine smoke, 1982 928sl

And the smoke is bluish? Sounds like it is over filled. Unless you meant to say, "oil between marks" which is the way the sticks are marked. My stick has a rubber thingy at the top which compresses slightly forming a seal into the sleeve. Could this have moved upwards or compressed with age? Maybe this plus filling to the top line is causing an overfill situation. YMMV

it might be a good time for a compression check, also spark plug inspection
