Sounds like to me you have a coolant leak into the engine. Not oil.

yep youre right.. i am leaking coolant yet the coolant level is fine.
the smoke smells like oil burning and my oil level is dropping..
so it couldnt be an oil issue...right?

Hey, you are the one that came here asking questions. If you already know all the answers, then by all means, see yourself out. No need for any of us to help you with an attitude like that.

no attitude..
Let me reword my question...
What would cause a motor to burn Oil at an idle?(rev it a few times it quits)
It also puffs a small cloud when first started, clears out.. Let it idle very long though it starts to smoke
valve seals or oil getting past the rings
I would think rings would keep smoking(meaning at high rpm)hence rev
I know it is oil smoke.
just want to know if this could be $20 vavle seals or if its time for a new bottom end?

So what was the end result of this thread. My GTP is burning through oil pretty quickly too.

I had come across the same issue recently. Some smoke at idle sometimes. We thought it could have been anything but valve seals as they were replaced less than a year ago. Well pulled both covers off and found seal on exhaust valve was no longer seated Wouldnt hurt to pull covers and inspect

So the gaskets on my Cylinder Heads are probably shoot then. You have to replace the bolts too. don't you? Does anyone have the bolt sequence?

Most likely your issue is valve seals. Head gaskets are very uncommon.
