Hi..That is a lot of oil you are losing, The engine is definitely toast. Blue/Gray Smoke: Blue/gray exhaust smoke is an indication of oil burning in the combustion chamber. Valve Guides: Excessive clearance between the valve stem and the valve guide allows oil to leak past the gap into the cylinder. Piston Rings: Worn or damaged piston rings will cause blow-by resulting in blue/gray smoke. Worn Cylinder Walls: Worn cylinder walls cause blow-by resulting in blue/gray smoke. PCV System: A stuck closed PCV valve will cause excessive crankcase pressure resulting in blue/gray smoke. Is it worth fixing? Depends on how much this car means to you, Mileage of vehicle, and just how much money you want to throw into a 20 year old car..The engine will need to be completely overhauled or change out with a used engine probably close to 800- $1000 either way..Probably have a lot more into this than you can live with I'm guessing Is it worth fixing?

See your other post for the answer; no need to ask twice
