Well you want to make sure it's not leaking first of all. If not, then it has to be going someplace which means it's being consumed and blown out one way or another which means it's time for a rebuild once the consumption becomes too high.

place a sheet of clean cardboard under it overnight to check for leaks. from there, it can be rings, valve seals, headgasket or pcv system.

narrow down one by one. if those arent it, try switching to another brand and grade of oil. improper breakin will result in increased oil consumption permanently.

You can burn a lot of oil and still not see the smoke. You don't drive around everywhere looking in the mirror, and even when it does burn, it can be a very light smoke.
