eric, could be a lot if things. Do a compression test and a leak down test first. Sounds like issues with the cylinder head and/or the valves i.e. valve stem seals etc. White smoke and the smell are pretty much evidence that you do burn oil.

eric, I don't think any additives will make a difference. In order to checks the heard you would have to remove it and get it fluxed for cracks.

Putting to much oil in your car will also cause it to blow white smoke until you have the correct amount.
