Have a leak down test done by your mechanic
Greetings,

To make it easy on yourself I would have a reputable mechanic do a cylinder leak down test on your vehicle. This will eliminate false ideas as to where the oil is going and pin point where the leakage is most likely taking place. Your car doesn't happen to have an engine driven vacuum pump that operates door locks etc. does it?
