130K miles???? Only that? Common! You're smoking blue? When you start with a cold motor, have you have bluish fumes coming out. Did you took out at least a couple spark plugs to see how it look?
I don't think with this mileage the motor is burning oil unless it have a poor maintenance record. My car have this exact mileage and is working like a charm in this matter.

I had my spark plugs changed last December. That's when the dealership said that they found oil in the manilfold (or something like that). I haven't seen any blue smoke on a cold startup. I'll have to take a closer look. Everything else is fine with the vehicle but I just have to put a quart of oil in every 5 weeks or so. It used to be 3 weeks until I got my last oil change in december. Not sure how the oil consumption decreased. I remember someone saying it could be the pcv valve and to remove the hose with the car running to check for suction. I just have no idea where the pcv valve is? Any pics?
