Oil Usage
I bought a used '92 with 97,000 actual miles about a year-and-a-half ago. I check the oil level weekly and have never noticed any loss of oil until the last few weeks. It now goes through about a quart every 750 miles. I pulled away from a light the other day and noticed a puff of blue smoke out the exhaust so I know it's burning it. I understand the valve stem seals are notoriously prone to wear, but is it possible for them to fail so suddenly? I'd be interested in your comments. Thank you.

Re: Oil Usage
It could be that only one seal went bad and if that is the case one quart in 750 miles is not bad.
