If you aren't having to add oil between oil changes, it is generally not a big deal if you leave it. I get the VERY occasional blue puff of smoke at start and burn 1/4 of a quart every 3,000 miles.
I'd suspect your valve stem seals. They are known to be prone to premature failure up to model year 1996 Town Cars.
Check out this information and how to regarding the valve stem seal replacement:

Before you jump in, if you want to give some cheap treatments a shot, I suggest Auto-Rx. Use their high mileage instructions which will require two bottles and take some time. It helps restore seals and is not a solvent. It really cleans up dirty engines and keeps them clean. I run it in my car and if you look at my pictures (see sig), when I swapped my cams, my engine was extremely clean compared to others with the same mileage and conditions. |
How much would replacing the worn out seals cost on a DIY job?, as mentioned below and from past experience I know this brunt oil will cause more problems (maf sensor, air filter, O2 sensors and even cat converter will go bad because of it) I might give a try to the Auto-RX, do you know about any success rate for re-aconditioning the seals? If not maybe I'll just go with the new seals and will add some once I've finished. =)

1) Block the EGR Port and go with an external PCV filter.
This car will run so much better, the MAF sensor and air filter wont get contaminated with oil.

This sounds kind of interesting too, besides the oil not being sucked into the combustion chamber, are there any other pros or cons on doing this? How should I exactly do that?.
Best regards,
