first you gotta see if it's leaking the oil out or burning it.

How many miles are on it since you last put oil in it?

If it is burning oil it could be bad valve seals (this would cause smoke though) or it could have scratched pistons, the walls around the pistons (dont know what they are called) could be scratched or bad piston rings.
