you should post it in the other board (2nd gen)

burning oil is blueish tint, gas is black and coolant is white.

if all you do is start the car up and let it idle then your just building up gunk and using lots of gas. Probably why it's burning it. You gotta take it out and drive it at least like 5 miles.

If you drive it anything under a mile then your also killing your exhaust because it takes about a mile to get all the moisture out, and moisture in the exhause = rust = holes.

your valve cover gaskets are probably leaking if you have 140,000 miles
