2001 saturn sc1 79000 miles takes a quart of oil every 600 to 700 miles. i cant find any visible signs of leaking and no blue exhaust or smell of oil being burned so its a mystery right now as to where the oil is going. The psi in all 4 cylinders is between 172 and 175 also i changed the PCV valve already, i dont know where else to look. any suggestions?

It has to go somewhere-do a cylinder leakage test excessive carbon in the combustion chamber will raise the compression due to oil leaking into it-
