check to see if your oil is a milky color if it is its a head gasket

Compression and leak down test.
Do it.

Also do what s13boy said.

actually if its not overheating and its burning through oil quickly it should be a blown head gasket but bluish smoke....

[fliprayzin240sx]

Smoke and you're losing oil so thats screaming rings to me. Check you're compression, they're probably low...Blue smoke is usually oil...

Get a good coolant temp gauge. You don't know if you're overheating or not by guessing or by using the OEm gauge, which is the same thing as guessing.

Smoke after idling but not while moving = bad valve guides.
