It keeps eating oil and giving off burnt oil smell. Does not seem like head problem. Any help?

Check for leaking valve cover gasket. Especially towards the back of the engine. If it is leaking bad enough the oil gets on the exhaust giving you that burning smell and smoking too.

@JSI001.I checked for leaks on the floor, exhaust and no signs of leaks. Waa told that if the heads were bad blueish smoke would be coming out the exhaust but no signs of smoke. Any other problems I should look for?
