I would drive it for a while and see how it goes - give it some spirited driving. Maybe it needs a bit of right foot therapy! I had a similar PPI on a '74 with 3.0 Euro motor four years ago and it still uses oil and blows oil smoke on startup. But it has done 20K miles and lots of track miles. It comes down to how you feel it is going and is it getting worse, has it lost power?

Maybe I am a cheap SOB but I would rather do that sort of work after driving it for at least 5k miles, checking oil levels regularly etc. You also get to know your car that way - they are all different. I take my car to red every time I drive it!
