Default 3 quarts of oil in 2500 miles

WTF!!?? i have had the same problem as many other ls1s have had with oil connsumption but it has never been this bad. i also have a very small leak that doesn't leak enough to drip on the ground even after a couple of days just sitting there. I had my oil changed 2500 miles ago and i've had to add about 3 quarts to it since then. any advice?

thanks

thats a lot of oil to say the least. does that thing smoke like hell or what? what weight oil are you running? you might want to try something thicker like 10w40 or something. how many miles BTW?
