Check the spark plugs to see what evidence of oil burning is there. If the oil control piston rings are stuck you can loose oil that way. Get an oil additive product that claims to free up sticking rings and valves. The product should feel watery when you shake the container. DO NOT use a product that is thick. Follow the directions.
Check coolant. Any sign of oil there? Check transmission fluid, after driving a bit. Check the head gasket seam with a flashlight and the valve cover. I can't recall if your model year was part of the head bolt problem. A retorque is relatively painless.
What oil have you been using?
