Does it just burn oil when you start up or even after its warmed up?

It happens after i've been driving for a couple of minutes, and then it stops.
Er, am getting a bit worried now!

It doesn't sound like a piston ring because if that was buggered you would expect to see a smokescreen being laid down at all times.
It might just be a blocked breather pipe.
Suggest you get a competent mechanic to look at it rather than just worry and speculate what it might be.

if it runs like shit could be the MAP sensor needing a tap and the \ECU resetting...
mine ran like a totaled parcel one day i did that and it has given 110% ever since without further hiccups.
but also check ur oil and get a warrenty over the phone incase its not that !!!
