Sign of bad PCV? Help?

So lately since ive been driving my car ALOT more and the thing has been going through oil very fast. today i got my buddy to drive behind me while i hit it from a roll and he says a good amount of white smoke comes out when i first go WOT and a little puff when i shift. But the car doesn't smoke AT ALL on cold starts or at any other time for that matter. Any ideas? Was thinking either valve seals or PCV system. But i know valve seals are usually on high RPM decell.

I know.

Its oil for sure though. My car has had the same level coolant for a year already.

Has the heads ever been off the car? Make sure you've got thread sealent on the rocker bolts if they have and I had a inner valve spring break once and shred a valve seal. My car never smoked but went through oil like crazy. I had a pcv stick once also and the car smoked like a dozer. I thought it blew up on jack stands.

plutôt mourir qu'être grosse is the motto among quite a few french women, literally means better dead than fat...French women in general smoke a lot, I just spiced it up with ***** part
