Is there supposed to be smoke coming out constantly?

This is the oil that came out after being on for about 10-15 minutes.

Had a mechanic look at it while I was getting a trans leak
looked at and he said it looked fine to him.I’m going to do the blowby test also just in case.

Not sure exactly what your looking for here. If you have excessive blowby it's from a worn out engine that needs inframed. Did you do the manometer test? It's not perfect but it will give you some idea of what you got.

I dont see anything in either video that would make me rush out and book an inframe appointment. How much oil are you using in between oil changes? How many miles in between oil changes?
Take the dipstick out or oil fill cap off while its running. If it looks like a constant chimney of smoke blowing out (not just hazy puffs) and your using a pile of oil then your gonna want to dig deeper and probably prepare for an inframe.

https://imgur.com/a/IKg2b2G Here’s a video with the oil fill cap off.My oil change interval are done at 10k and I don’t think it makes it to 3/4 of a gallon but I’m going to get a better gauge on the usage this time around.I did change the oil and filters yesterday and added about 3/4 of a gallon of 85-140.

There is absolutely nothing in your video to worry about. That looks normal.
