'08 TL S few issues

I bought a flood salvage tls @102k miles
The ran ok for the 1st 2 weeks i registered it. Did the usual tune noticed the spark plugs were full of oil on the bottom side. The car costumes 2 to 3 qts of oil also very very strong unburned oil my eyes get teary during long drives. When car is at full throttle smokes like it were james bond smokes screen. Muffler tips a black. It currently gives me 296 miles per tank currently no cel code but codes on navi. Could anyone point me to the right direction?

Valve seals might be toast. Not an easy fix since you have to take the heads off.

Probably the rings I would think. Maybe it had water in the engine and some scoring was done to the cylinder walls
