oil consumption

in the prev. post i was asking about internal injector o-ring.reason was about a year ago i broke a set of pushrods and drove the truck a couple hundred miles home this way washing down a cylinder.had a comp. test and contribution test done after and they both checked ok.and seems i had more oil use since then.lately the oil use goes up and down.put on about 400 mi and no oil use and then in the last 200mi i used almost a litre.i do have the ccv mod. and the truck does smoke blue cold but nothing warmed up even when it is using alot of oil.any ideas?
thanks

how is the coolant level? has it been gradually rising? is the color still good, or is it starting to look milky at all?
