> Did you pull the vehicle in running or did you start it up in the garage and get smoked out? Crappy valve seals could let oil drain into the combustion chambers if it was sitting fir a while and then fired up.

Pulled it in, turned it off for a few hours, jacked it up one side at a time to do the brakes, so it sat for a while with each side tilted before being started up. Valve seals seems to be the only thing that makes sense. And maybe it was tilted long enough to all run toward a seal and seep past.
