This reads like oil is being burned. It could be linked to a number of causes (worn valve seals or an issue with the turbocharger). It may also be burning coolant.
I would suggest getting it checked by a qualified mechanic and keeping a close eye on the oil and coolant levels - if the car runs low on either then the engine will become seriously damaged.
