i would have to agree, also it is possibly an issue with the Valve Stem seals.

Same thing happened/is happening to my car.

Turbo seals. Look at the oil through headlights at night and it will have a blue hue -- telltale oil burning signs.

It only happens at idle becase, well, thats when you have the lowest oil pressure and it is easiest for oil to leak past uncompressed oil seals.
