Yea, I think it's your valve seals. Try using some Lucas Oil Stabilizer in your oil. It may help a little bit. Follow the directions on the bottle. Be careful not to overfill your engine's total oil capacity. You'll want to change the oil in most cases but since it sounds like you're burning a little oil so you may be low enough to add the right amount of Lucas without going over capacity. Check your oil level with the dipstick and if it's a little bit over the low mark on the dipstick or lower, just add enough Lucas to bring it up to the full mark on the dipstick.
