1998 Audi A4 Burning Oil

[jawnres]

i bought a b5 a4 1.8t, drove it for a little and then had it sit in the driveway for a few months. there's around 217k on the body and 147k on the motor. the person I bought the car from said there was a blown head gasket. I'm no Audi genius but I haven't seen/smelled anything that tells me that there's a blown head gasket, which brings me to tell you my reason for posting this. every time I start the car up I smell oil and white smoke starts coming out of the exhaust and when I look under the car I can see smoke coming from the exhaust piping (right under the where the passenger seat is inside the car) I'm trying to figure out what could be causing this. I read a few posts about this but I thought I'd take it into my own hands and post something.

Do a compression test. If numbers are questionable, then do a leak down test (or just do a leak down test from the start). Start there!

thank you, I'll keep this updated as I figure things out
