    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?
