... you are burning oil... you kinda answered your own question. How long have your owned the car? is this a new occurrence? have you checked your oil level to see how much has dropped? have you read any of the threads on this site about oil burning? more than likely you are having oil bypass in the cylinders..

I would check for leaks as well.

Check around the valve covers for oil leaks that could be burning off the headers and causing a bad smell to occur.

Smoke coming outside the exhaust, i thought I was burning oil, but it was just condensation in the exhaust being blown out.

car that burns oil will kill it's cats pretty quickly after that you will get burning oil smell out of your exhaust meaning that you cats are shot and you still burning oil.
