Default burning oil

I have a 1991 integra LS motor. I'm burning a lot of oil but the head was done. I have no oil leak and oil is starting to appear in the resevoir where the anti-freeze is. What is the problem?? Can the motor be bad? getting old? please let me know. thanks

Maybe the head gasket is old

check your valves too. you might have a bad valve seat or a mushroomed valve.

It might be that your piston rings are worn
