Well, there are several reasons why an engine may loose oil.

1) an external leak from either:
.....a) Defective gasket
.....b) Defective Seal or
.....c) Inoperative PCV System
2) an Internal leak either from
.....a) Stuck Piston Rings
.....b) Worn Piston Rings
.....c) Worn Valve Seals / guides

You haven't mentioned any wild and wierd engine noises so it shouldn't be too bad
