Default My sohc is burning oil and dont know what it is

My sohc i know it has a bad injector because i have black dust on the rear bumper all the time but now it burns 1 quart of oil a week.some people say is the valve seals some say is the rings. My car doesnt smoke in the morning, but it smokes white when i accelerate,it dont smoke when idle or when moving , only when parked and i accelerate, could be this white smoke be from to much fuel on the chamber and the oil burn from bad valve seals.

Blue smoke = burning oil
Black smoke = too much fuel
White smoke = burning coolant

Black dust on the bumper is carbon which wouldnt be related to a fuel injector

For the qt of oil gone thru a week, it will be the valve seals or rings....thats why you do a leakdown test to determine which area is letting oil through if not both.
