if it smokes then that tends to mean its fast lol

it could be

turbo
guides
stem seals
rings
piston problem

as said keep useing it and keep an eye on the oil level

just look at it as a continuous oil change

Probably oil seals in the turbo.

If not, buy something newer

I would say valve guides (weak point), if not stem seals.

Tabetha always reccomended replacing with Coshibo (Thats the wrong spelling) but it's a better type of guide material.
