What would cause oil to drip from the exhaust pipe?

[Edit]

Answer

I would have to guess at the intake manifold gasket or head gasket. SOunds like the oil passes through one of these and into a cylinder, Especially if it is burning it. Be careful it doesn't go up in flames, oil will burn quite well.
