clean everything off as much as u can and maybe put a piece of cardboard box below it when u park and trace it. that much oil id take a guess as rear main or a front seal or something. could be anything even ur oil pan seal. you need to direct us to maybe what area of the engine u think is leaking or has burnt oil on it. Or maybe ur dusting the road with a bit of oil because ur rings are blown burning it off.

could be your valve cover gasket since you just had it off.

is ur rear bumper black around where the exhaust gases come out? mine burns oil too, found out it was my valve seals .. id say do a dry and wet compression test (to check if ur piston rings are bad) then go ahead and do a vacuum test too (that pinpoints if u have any valvetrain parts that are bad) .. check ur pcv valve as well .. if thats clogged it'll keep the pressurized crank vapors to blow out ur seals in the block .. visually check any place on the engine if u can see anywhere its leaking oil ..

Possibly...don't know if it would toss a qt every two weeks but possible. Did you use liquid gasket on the corners of the valver cover gasket.
