I have a 1997 dodge neon dohc with about 137000 miles on it . I am getting blue smoke out of the exhaust after about five mins of idle. I am not getting any blow back and not consuming much oil at all. When i changed the valve cover gasket about a month ago i noticed oil pouring out of the intake breather tube... so i removed theh line to check and i am not getting any oil anymore, but still smoking. i also replaced pcv valve around the same time... i tried some "stop smoke" supplement no change at all. I checked and i dont have the revised mls headgasket, but i am not having any problems with coolant.... please help

It's burning the oil through the valve guides. About the only thing you can do about it is replace the valve seals and make sure the oil return holes are not restricted with sludge at all.
