You say it only burns or smokes on start up. This would indicate to me that an oil seal on the valve stem is leaking. There is a test they can put on that, if it is valve seals, it is not that expensive to correct. Other wise you can drive it a long time burning oil, eventually it will get out of hand, but no catastrophe is going to occur. I have driven cars that burned a quart in 200 miles. I drove them until I could find a good replacement engine and just switched them out. These were cars i bought cheap to resell.
