I have lots of it... LOTS of it when I first start my car and when I rev over 6,000rpms and I also have exhaust leaks too I think, as it comes from the bottom of my car as well as the mufflers.

burning oil.

oil control rings are going out. probably a good thing to get ready to rebuild the motor before you starve it and really hurt something.
