history on fuel system? mileage? timing?

oil is usually a blue burn, you can also clean the CDR and see if that helps oil consumption

fuel system usually lasts around 100k then needs replaced, that could be causing your white smoke.

CDR = crankcase depression regulator. tuna can looking deal that hooks to your intake, if its not working properly it can suck up some extra oil through the intake, therefore "using" or "burning" oil

probably not a matter of looks, but the internals. before you go doing anything crazy start with the free stuff, clean cdr, advance timing a tad. then if no dice then look for new fuel system parts

How rough does she start while cold? Warm? If air is getting in then starts rough and runs rough along with smoke...
