White smoke blows out the ignition.

What is your question?

Upon ignition, white smoke blows out of the exhaust. The vehicle burns oil. It doesn't leak oil: no drips or puddles on the driveway. I've been told that when my car is parked, the oil seeps. I may have a faulty seal. The smoke comes from the oil burning off upon ignition. My check engine light came on with code P0306 cylinder 6 misfire detected. It also started "shaking" when stopped but ceases once I accelerate. I'm told the seeping oil eventually will foul a spark plug. To rectify that, I put in Seafoam with every fill up. mechanics have said I need an engine tear down to find out if I have a valve, ring, cylinder issue. Cost $3,000 plus then the actual repair! if I just keep using Seafoam in the tank and Restore or Lucas in the crankcase, is that enough? It's a 2009 with 110,744 miles. I bought it 3/2020, used, from the Subaru dealer with 92,281 miles. On average I drive 700/month. I have no money for a hefty repair bill. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thank yo
