Default 98 s70 burning oil

I just bought a 1998 S70 T5 with 175k for $1500. The guy told me that it was burning oil
and I needed to add oil often. But, he advised me that it will be fine as long as I keep it in check.
So, does this mean that the engine is on its way out, or is there something that I can fix to prevent
it from blowing up?

Have the PCV system checked.
If it is clogged it will make it burn oil.
I will bet something is clogged or a vaccum line is bad.
