Help...please...help one last time (Stupid question)

You can keep re-filling with oil (and driving) indefinitely.
Only your personal level of frustration will tell you when you've reached your limit and that a rebuild is called for.
We can't tell you....

  ok once again I would like to thank all of you. I did take it to my freind 
  who is a mechanic and he didnt see any thing wrong with it. As for head 
  gaskets and stuff like that Im sure i would be able to notice it in 
  performance and the car seems to be driving fine, The smoke is gone expect 
  for a little bit and hes gona run a compression check on it tomorrow. But 
  while it was there I rememberd the car loses 2 quarts of oil within 4 
  months...as in its full one day then about 4 months later the oil light 
  comes on i check..and its gone. I have been adding oil and checking on a 
  regular basis..but losing that much oil cant be normal. The mechanic said 
  that most likely the car will need and engine overhaul, (but thats not for 
  sure yet) he said its an expensive procedure... SO heres the stupid question 
    is it nesecary, or can I keep doing what i have been doing filling it up 
  and checking it often? any recomendations
  thanx
