Burning Oil

I bought a 02 Solara se v-6 with 35,000 from Towbin Dodge "the King of Cars" just outside of Las Vegas a couple of months ago for 13000 (because of the low mileage). I thought that since this was a toyota (and they last forever) it would be a good car to put 100,000 miles on and sell cheap to my teenage son.
It is burning 1 quart of mobil 1 synthetic oil every 2-3 tanks of gas, which I think is excessive given the low mileage. It has started to blow a tiny bit of blue smoke on startup. It also has a rattle coming from the rear wheel area like something is loose (local shop double checked me and nothing is loose). Any ideas of what I can do for these issues that won't break the bank? Thanks.
