Burning oil
#1

I have a Durango with a 318. If I let it sit for a while (couple days), then start it up, it burns oil like crazy and is coming out of the exhaust. It settles down to the point where you can't even tell its burning oil after its warmed up. The thing has been burning oil for quite some time and I've never figured out where its going. Recently it has gotten worse.
I'm not sure where the oil is leaking and I'm wondering where I should check first. Any Ideas?
3 years ago (~20K miles) I replaced the plenum gasket and one of the PCV valves.

Thanks for the input guys! I don't have any stored codes or check engine light. I'm 90% sure the smoke is from oil but I'm not an expert. I'm thinking with the loss of 2qts of oil, that makes the most sense. Tranny fluid and coolant levels are stable. I'm going to check the plugs next and see.
How hard is it to do valve seals on a 318?
