If you aren't seeing oil leaking in the driveway then it almost has to be burning it due to worn valves or pistons. There most likely is exhaust smoke but you just can't see it yet. One other thing to check is your engine coolant. A leaking main seal will allow engine oil into the coolant side of the engine which will turn your coolant a milky white frothy looking liquid.

if you have blue smoke coming into the exhaust that means your piston rings are bad and are letting oil into your combustion chamber and then causing the oil to be burned with your air fuel mixture and that's why your exhaust is blue from having that burnt oil dumped out of the exhaust valve and out the exhaust

Why is there whitish smoke from 3000gt down pipe area possible leaking oil cap filler and valve cover gasket?
usually if there is white smoke coming out of anywhere in your exhaust that's an indication that your engine is burning oil, most likely caused by a leaking or blown head gasket, but could be caused by oil leaking down the pipe from your other leaks and burning off. Oil smoke is NOT WHITE... If you have white smoke/steam coming from the exhaust then that will be engine coolant leaking into the combustion chamber. Nother words you have a BAD head gasket or a cracked head. Blue smoke is oil.
