Hum. The mystery is how oil gets to coat the inside of the tailpipes 
without any blue smoke coming out. There's no cat converter to mask 
burned oil smoke in this case. No smoke sounds like the oil is getting 
into the exhaust without encountering spark, and "the oil is coming from 
the engine as  the crankcase was almost empty" indicates a lot of  oil 
evading spark.
