Default loosing oil, HELP?

I have a 92 VX w/ a 95 B18C1, just your basic upgrades, exhaust, intake, etc...

I have been loosing 3 quarts of oil every 1,500 to 2,000 miles. The car is spotless underneath and I have been told that there is no burning from the exhaust except from normal vtec fuel richness. I check it every other day and right now it is down a half quart.

My friend's dad is a long time toyota tech and says he will take a look at it. I want any ideas that may be helpful or that I can give the tech.

ur burning it up most likely, up in smoke, how many miles is on your car?
worn rings

check your spark plugs
also is there any oil around the valve cover and engine?

maybe a little tuneup would help spark plugs, valve cover gasket, cam seals, all them little gaskets
