Check in the inside timing belt housing for signs of oil, check for oil dripping from the bell housing, check for oil running down behind the lower rear timing belt cover by the A/C compressor. Has this engine been rebuilt? Post pictures of the spark plugs, if you're burning that quantity of oil it should show very readily.

Also try feeling along the top of the bell housing and transmission for oil. When the HG leaks oil from the rearmost passage it often runs along there and doesn't drip out until much further back and often not unless the car is moving.
