If you've checked the cylinders and they don't show any sign of ovalizing.......your compression is good.........blowby is minimal..........then, my only suggestion to you is to consider the turbo seals as the problem.

I've personally watched a 603 consume two quarts of oil within 40 miles.........with some decent white smoke out the back........but otherwise running perfectly fine.

The culprit was the turbocharger.

Take the vehicle for a drive and bring it back and remove the crossover tube. Check for oil in the tube or oil at the turbo discharge outlet. If you see oil droplets there, you've found your culprit.
