Blue smoke will be oil burning - does it use any to speak of?

looks like it pours oil into the engine while it's stopped.. most likely worn out valve sheets

no guys it doesnt use oil,maybe its just wear and tear,not worth repairing really,ive spent hundreds over the last five years,thanks for replies,much appreciated.

i found that BG oil treatment is quite useful to stop this. A friend's 405 GLD was smoking and 'gulping' about a liter of oil per week!! poured a can in and we witnessed how the bluish smoke fading away and disappeared.
