Question Burning alot of oil

I Have a 1998 ram 1500 4X4. Recently it started to burn a lot of oil but no sign where its being burned. I used 5 liters of oil in a 400 km drive. My oil pressure goes down and I pull over and I'm bone dry on the dip stick. Oil is not spewing out the exhaust and it not leaking anywhere. Where is all the oil going? Is this a Plenum Gasket problem? And if so how much does it cost? Or does anyone know what the problem is

I just had the cam shaft/crank shaft? sensor replaced because my truck wouldn't' start. Could this be another sensor issue?

Thanks
