Burning fluids?

My car smokes at start up then when it is warmed up it starts to smoke when the temperature reaches 220. It doesnt smoke when i drive it, just t start up and when it idles at 220. what the heck could it be? it is burning oil, hence the blue smoke. Its not even that bad, but i was jsut wondering

Sounds like it may need a rebuild.
My Nissan Pulsar burned oil like that and it was the piston seals and some of the valves were damaged.

Blue smoke is bad, but yours hasn't gotten too bad.
