Default '91 Legend Smokes?

I have a very well maintianed 1991 Acura Legend that started smoking recently. It doesnt smoke all the time and stops after accelerating. It smokes quite a bit at times. Any thoughts?

I would get a compression and leakdown test to figure out what the problem is. It is either worn piston rings or bad valve seals. I would be willing to put money on the piston rings.
