It is most likely bad pistons/rings. Valve seals will usually smoke on start up, but not be very noticeable running.
Another possibilit would be a bad PCV system. If that is not working, the engine won't "breathe" and oil will leak out past seals, gaskets and rings. Check it (PCV system) first, then start shopping for a mechanic.

Those would be the valve seals. The motor needs to be overhauled. You have not indicated the mileage but a 16 year old car is at the end of its life unless major repairs keep it going.
