Leaking or burning? How many miles? I had a Gen II which would leak a few ounces from the front seal once in a blue moon. I've never had an engine use a quart between changes.
You are either using and burning it or leaking it. It can only go two places and with an 03 (assuming you have decent miles on it) I would assume you are using a bit but from oil change to the next, it is noticeable.
I've got 168K on my '03 and it only drops ...maybe a 1/4 quart between changes. Run your finger on the inside of the tail pipe...what's it look like? Do you blow any white smoke upon start up?
