Getting excessive blow by?
Just a guess, but I'd look in the direction of a failed injector and what you are smelling is raw fuel pumping out the exhaust.

Hopefuly it is fuel but its blue and sure smells like burning oil.

x2 on the compression test, an checking for blowby, a quick look at the balance rates could help in the diag.

so what happens when you crack a piston or burn a hole threw one? pull the motor run a hone up and down the cylinder get a new piston and throw it back together?
