I used to have a car that burned so much oil it looked like a mosquito fogger. It didn't go thru 5 quarts in a week. (I got an excessive smoke warning on the way home from buying it.)
First place I'd look is at the drain plug and the oil filter. I had a Nova that once dumped all it's oil after an oil change out an improperly installed filter. In less than 15 miles! The other places it's likely to dump oil is out the oil pressure sender (and that's oil under pressure,) out the end & corner gaskets on the plenum, from the rear main seal, and suck oil in if the plenum valley pan is leaking.
I don't think the valley pan is sheet metal on a 01, I just did a plenum on a 98 and it looked like Mopar improved the thickness of the pan. You may have a blown gasket, tho, I'd repair it using a new gasket and copper RTV goop.
