Definitely burning oil...
... on startup and only on startup.
It only happens when I start it up until the engine is warmed up. After that, there is no trace of smoke at all. I can drive it slow (REAL SLOW) and it will warm up and all, but if I drive it too hard too fast, it will blow a lot, lot, lot of smoke.
Any comments, questions, suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem..Not as bad at startup..But when I get into it .By that I mean over 5k..It still doesn't smoke..But when I decelerate, by that I mean let off of the gas it blows Hella Bluish white smoke...Just for a few seconds then it stops...My engine has about 100,000 miles on it but it still feels strong..Just the smoke on the deceleration thing that worries me..And yes it does us a good bit of oil...

even when brand new they smoked for a couple secs at startup. but shouldn't happen the whole warmup. is your car turbo? it could be the turbo seals. other wise the oil rings in the engine.

I was looking at guitarman68's car and it almost like its flooding its self with oil when its cold. after about a minute it burns clean..... Anyone have any suggestions... I believe the motor was rebuilt recently as well. I took it for a drive and it pulls strong and the ports open nicely, exhaust clean... Just the first minute or so of throttlew time that's the issue.
