Burning oil

Howdy Audi Fans,

    The other day I noticed that my care was making white smoke when I
revved it, so I took it to Alpine Foreign Auto (the local audi specialists)
and asked them about it.  They said that it was either some seals for the
lifters or something like that (I didn't quite understand) or the rings.
Quoted the seal at $200 and the rings at $1200 because it would require an
entire engine rebuild.  I don't thing the rings would be worth it.  I could
probably have another engine dropped in cheaper.  What do the experts think?

Thanks,
Jeremiah Curry
