Default oil coming out of the exhaust??

like the title says there's an integra with oil coming out of the exhaust.
the compression is 240 across.
what could be the issue??? i have not done a leak down test, i don't know how.
does this happen when the valve seals go bad? how do valve seals go bad??
just wondering how can oil get through the exhaust.
the oil is burning white, not blue. so that means that it is not going through the combustion chamber. some how it is just going through the engine out the exhaust with out being burnt, leaving white smoke for blocks with no oil in the oil pan at the end of an hour drive.
do the valve guides leak?
engine still runs good but at the end of the day or long drive i have no oil.

Bad oil rings wont show up on a compression test...Sounds like you are definately burning oil, but I dont think even the worst valve guides or seals could cause you to burn as much as your describing...
If its burning oil, its going through the exhaust...
Try pulling your exhaust manifold or header and taking a look at your exhaust ports...

burnt oil from faulty rings is blue correct??
my smoke is white which means unburnt oil.
at first glance there's no oil in the exhaust port but there is in the gasket. im gona take a peak inside the port with a small light see what i can see.

Burning alot of oil can be kinda whitish, but also with different degrees of a bluish tint. It has a very distinct smell.
How many miles?
Does it smoke at WOT?
Does it smoke on first startup in the mornings?
