It sounds like it's actually burning the oil, rather than leaking it then, I'm assuming that your usage is a lot more than the drop you mention. The entire car has 234k on it?

If the usage is bad enough, it may be time for a valve job, or even a rebuild.

If it has an inertia switch, it will be on the passenger side under the kick panel under the glove box.

Is it coming from inside the motor or around it, or under the car. Does it rattle while you are idling or speeding up?
