Oil leak or consumption?

My 01 SE Convertible seems to be going through a lot of oil lately. I have to add some every few days or I get the flickering oil light going around corners to let me know its low.
I've gotten into the engine bay with a bright light and I can't find any evidence of a leak anywhere. There is never a drop in my driveway, and no telltale streaks on the back of the car either. I also checked the plugs for signs of burning, but they look great. I don't get smoking on hard acceleration or anything like that.
Based on a bad experience I had years ago with my 95 that had a malfunctioning PCV system, I suspect the loss is going through the PCV/CCV system somehow. The only thing is, I would suspect that with that much oil loss into the CCV system, I'd be seeing a LOT of smoke from the exhaust wouldn't I?
