If you are positive it is not leaking oil anywhere, then it is burning it, have a compression test performed. Lower than normal compression would indicate rings.

Run the engine up to 4000rpm in 2nd gear and let of throttle, if you see any blue smoke out exhaust then valve seals would be the cause.
