going down a hill with foot off the throttle, the vacuum can be 25 inches, easy, (that is why this is worst case for smoke) and will suck oil

it can be real bad too.
you might try a hotter plug as a band aid.
it might burn off the oil , better.
that is the problem with cute complexity, CCV, whatever, more parts to break or crack.

if it was real gas, it just be , amber oil fouled.
It is real gas. Ill check locally as to why ours is that color. Maybe color coded for country?
i wished id saved my purple spark plugs for show an tell.....
