MMO+Oil=bad seal??

Well I posted on using MMO in my oil about 2 weeks ago. Everythings been ok, no huge differences but today something odd happened. It was relatively warm and I took the FC (87 NA) up to 7400 in 3rd. When I started to shift I noticed a bunch of smoke from the exhaust. Im tempted to say it had a blue tint but wasnt too sure because I was watching the road ahead.

My car has 108k miles on what I believe is the original motor. Im not sure if it smoked because of no cats/un burned fuel, or large quantity of oil being burned for some reason. The cars oil consumption seems totally normal, even a little less actually then usual. It only did it once. Could it be the MMO is eating up my corner seals or was it just a hiccup? Thanks guys.

MMO is the goods, it wouldn't hurt the seals. If you are worried about the oil o-rings leaking, put some ATF tranny sealer in your oil. It will recondition the oil seals.
