check for external oil leaks...they must be close to the exhaust because you can smell the oil burning

well autozone said it could be the piston rings or the valves or some kinda tube that would allow oil to get on the spark plugs

If you can, pull out the spark plugs. If they are black and oily then you are burning oil, if they are a dry brownish - tan (or possibly grey) color then you are not burning oil and the oil is leaking somewhere else.
