My sentra is using oil, and white smoke when I start up, and no oil spots in the driveway. Only 78,000 miles. Thanks

A little white smoke while the car is warming up is normal. A lot of white smoke all the time may be a leaking head gasket. How much oil is it using?

3 quarts of oil between changes is a lot. How many miles was that? What type of oil do you use?
