Oil Consumption for 95 850. 850 1995

My 850 Wagon is consuming oil at the rate of 1Qt/250 miles. I see white smoke behind me when ever I acclerate ( from complete stop ). After reaching a steady speed the smoke disappears.

The car has 160K miles on it and works perfectly otherwise. I had replaced the oil cap on the engine and the dip stick a year ago in order to stop oil from spraying in side the engine compartment. I do not see any visible leakage, either on top of the engine or on the road.

Any pointers on what could be wrong and approx $$ for the repair will be much appreciated.

Thank you for your help.
