pull the plugs and take a look at them, probably have one that is wet and oily.
What he said.

I was going to say use a bunch of Marvelous Mystery Oil with an Eye-Talian Tuneup to see if it is a sticking oil scraper ring or leaking valve stem from carbon buildup.
Then Sea Foam at idle and an oil change or two.

A pressure test on the cooling system can be done as well.
