Does it blow white smoke out the back while it's running? If it's eating oil but not leaking, it has to be going somewhere. It's either in the coolant which will give you a nice chocolate milkshake, or in the cylinders, which will blow smoke out the back as it's burned.
 
Pull codes and look for oil in the inlet in and past the throttle body. You should have O2 sensor codes at the very least. Pull the plugs and see what's going on there. Post pics.

A cylinder balance test, compression and leak-down tests should also tell you something. You should check fuel pressure too.
