cylinders are worn so oil seeps into top of pistons then burns along with fuel, prob usin more oil, as engine warms up and pistons expand the oil cant get on top of pistons and so stops burning oil. If its high milage engine, which normally have this prob id live with it until it smokes all the time, expensive engine rebuild to cure it.

Valve stem oil seals and worn guides are a common fault .
