I bought a used Chrysler Sebring that has been very well maintained. However a month after I bought the car I noticed it would smoke while idling at a drive thru. I took it to a machanic that changed the PVC value but it is still smoking. It is not using oil. I had the oil changed and ten weeks later it isn't even down a quart.

Something is leaking
need to have it checked
check coolant and do a coolant pressure test
recheck tranny lines and recheck for oil leaks
