Default Clouds of oil

Hello first post fellas how's it going.

My 2002 Mazda Protege 5 literally fills my 3 car garage with smoke on a cold start, and it also spits out oil from the exhaust pipe too; It looks like goopy black oil that shoots out all over the floor. It could also happen twice a day, just as long as the car has been sitting and cooled down for at least about 6 or 7 hours. There aren't any check engine lights, and I have to change my oil about every 3-5k miles because by then it would have burned through 10 Qts. Also, other than this, the car doesn't have any issues and has been running like this for a while now. I couldn't find anything about burning literal clouds of smoke; just imagine walking into like a competitive vaping competition or something lol.

Thanks fellas 😔👌
