This is caused either by high mileage &/or failing oil piston rings. You could also need new valve seals. Do a compression test to determine if it's just valve seals. If the compression is consistent @ about 130-150psi just have new valve seals installed. If less & uneven rebuild the engine. Good luck!

Oil consumption.

Bad rings,valve guides

I would do a cylinder leakdown test,even if you do compression, as eric,suggests. That way you separate rings, as well as intake from exhaust valves.

SOURCE: smoke comes out of tail pipe when car is

If the smoke is black it is a rich fuel feed condition, if the smoke is a blueish color the valve stem seals must be replaced.

Blue smoke indicates burning oil. So you oil getting into your cylinders somehow. Could be broken oil ring on one piston. If you have a lot of miles on your car or it has been overheated your engine may need an overhaul.

Possibly a leak in the head gasket. Take out the plugs and see if they are water wet. Run a compression check.

Constant smoke from tail pipe.

If its smoking that bad you should be able to tell if its oil or antifreeze by the smell, stand behind the car as its running, if its white and you smell a sweet smell its antifreeze if its blue and smells like a oil refinery its oil.
