W124 Burning Oil Far From Home...Help!

Just drove from salt lake to Los Angeles overnight in my 1988 300TE with 212K. On the way the car was performing beautifully however when i was using the cruise control i noticed significant amounts of white smoke coming out of the exhaust, especially when I disengaged it. Upon stopping I found oil on the rear lift gate. Oil pressure never dropped off 3 at 75-80 mph and engine temp was constant in mid 80s. I did burn about 1/2 a quart. I just had my head gasket and timing chain replaced no more than 500 miles ago. Any suggestions before I head back to salt lake on monday would be appreciated. I would love to be able to use the cruise again.
