Check the oil when the engine is cold. Make sure it's at the correct level.

========================

The Positive Crack Valve (PCV) is partial blocked.

This is under $10 item. You should change it.

The location of the PCV is on the top (or near top) of the valve cover.

Replace it and the oil/smoke will reciculate back to the correct path (back to the valve cover).

could be head gasket, but if motor is burning oil [smokey ] at the tail pipe then that would indicate piston rings!
as this is allowing combution into the engine block & pressurising it which acts like a pump & blows oil out from the weakest point [dipstick tube] or the valve cover breather, which ads more oil to the motor via the fuel intake!
either way its going to need a strip down & further inspection
I recommend a full rebuild or a replacement engine
Cheers & good luck Rob
