A pressurised crankcase is usually a sign of blowby, cylinder pressures leaking past the piston rings.

A cylinder leak down test should show if the rings are sealing but if it's not a big leak it may not be obvious. This test would not tell you if the oil scraper ring is good though.

If you don't want to spend money on a diagnosis you could fit a temporary oil catch can in the PCV system. If the smoking stops then it would be oil entering the PCV, if it continues then you would have to go a bit further.

Oil burning can be hard to diagnose without correct equipment. My advice would be to keep looking for someone who knows how to test and not guess. This is difficult though unfortunately.
