The exhaust is sucking oil out of the exhaust valve guide through the worn seal ... it probably isn't even getting to the combustion chamber. Check your plugs for fouling. You can live with the smoke until you have the opportunity for the valve job it needs.

But if you have ok compression and don't see a large plume of smoke come out of your tailpipe as soon as you start it's probably not your rings or a cracked head. It is more than likely needing a valvejob. In any case $3000 seems a bit steep for any of the above go see another mechanic. Do not wait or you could be buying a new engine and you can bet your gonna pay 3K+. Hope this helps.
