I'm not sure what "mashing out" is. I assume you mean when you're WOT? Was it a gradual problem? Any mods? New cam perhaps?

Check your oil level? Try overfilling it by a half quart and see if it stops dropping. It sounds like the oil pick up is getting uncovered in the oil pan. If that's the case, then yeah, you will probably spin a bearing. Could also be a bad gauge or sending unit, but I think it's starving for oil.
