Burning oil

Just bought a 03 pred. Yesterday. Did a pretty good check over on it before I bought it. Battery was dead so I had to jump it. It hadn't been ridden in a year. Very very clean quad. When running before I took it it ran clean. So I got it home. Put it on the charger. Checked all the fluids and gave it a once over. Oil was low so I added some. Started it and now it smokes and smells like oil burning pretty bad. Haven't even rode it yet. Talked to a few people. Checked the spark plug. Looked fine. Not fouled. So I decided to ride it around to see what happened. It burned up half a quart in a hour. Any advice. What would be the fix and about how much. Thanks for all the help.

you will need to do a compression test to see if its coming up past the rings or coming down from the head thats the only two ways oil will get into the combustion chamber. valve guides could be wore or rings are bad.
