Re: burning oil? (SIcoup)
Here is something to remember, dark bluish exhaust=oil burning in combustion chamber, black exhaust=fuel burning too rich in the combustion chamber, light bluish to white exhaust=coolant buring in combustion chamber. Steam coming from radiator with cap off and coolant is bubbling=possible head gasket blown and coolant burning in combustion chamber. Take a blowgun and blow air into each cylinder(with engine off) and if that air comes through the exhaust=burnt or bent exhaust valve or valves. If the air happens to come out of the intake manifold=burnt or bent intake valve or valves.

do a compression test.. drop a table spoon or more of oil in each cylinder after you take the intial measurements.. if there is a noticeable increase in the numbers you get then your burnin oil from rings, blowby.
If you still have blueish smoke at all times and its not your rings, then it might be your valve seats..
