May be a bad valve cover gasket which is allowing oil to get on the exhaust system and burn off. (you may not see anything on the ground)
Possibility of some other external leak on the engine causing the oil to drip on the exhaust .
Do you have to add a lot of oil between changes ?

I would pull all of the plugs and look for oil on the electrodes insulator etc after one of your hard runs. Don't let it run long after the run.
Its best to cut the engine clean as soon as you are finished and check the plugs before running it again.
If you find oil on a plug it will lead you to the cylinder and then to the root cause.
If you don't find any oil on the plugs I would continue to look for an external leak.
Good luck,
Ryan
