Default yb burning oil

i bought a stage 3 2wd saphire cosworth a few months ago, the last few weeks it has started to burn quite a bit of oil
the car has the usual stage 3 goodies with a hybrid turbo, rs500 cooler its still on the 205 block
what are the usual causes? would it be worth my while changing valve stem seals?
or would i be better getting piston rings and turbo redone! but its running fine, no blue smoke when accererating, its spluttters a bit when starting from cold !
