Damn 2.5 quarts every 2 weeks

If your o-rings are bad, the oil will travel around the piston and then will get combusted in the combustion chamber, usually creating white smoke and a burning oil smell. And if it's 2.5 quarts every 2 weeks, then you definitely have a problem. Sometimes a bad pcv system can cause oil consumption, but it wouldn't be that bad.
