Check for vacuum leaks before you go any further. If you hear a hissing noise, that's probably a vacuum leak. You can use a smoke machine (with the engine off) to pump smoke through a vacuum hose into the intake to help locate hard to find leaks.

What if there is not leaks or smoke and you am still going through 5 quarts of oil a week?
Check again for "leaks or smoke". If you are using one and a quarter gallons of oil a week, it is either leaking or burning off the oil, and I suspect leaking. Those are the only two rational explanations.
