How do you know if your engine is burning the oil?

if it does not leak oil, but the oil level dropps(or you have smoke, white or blue). on these motors, the valve stem seals lie to go out, and that's cheaper than a whole rebuild. start your motor, and remove the oil fill cap. if alot of smoke starts to come out, you need a rebuild. if little or no smoke comes out, your motor is good, and you need new valve stem seals
