Burning Oil

[DFG 5OH]

I'm pretty sure my car is burning oil. Its not leaking any, but i just went out to give it a check up, top off all fluids and stuff, and i checked my oil, and its out of the full range, and into the add I havent checked it in a few weeks, but last time i did, it was fine. and its not due for another oil change until another 1000 miles.

I go thru a qt about every 1100 miles...got no leaks either....

Same here. By the time Im ready for an oil change (3000miles) I have had to add two quarts already. And I never leak enough oil to show on the ground. Although my oil pan is nasty. I've been thinking I should replace my oil pan gasket and see if that helps.

where exactly would i add the oil at? in the valve covers, or the dipstick tube?
my dad isnt home to help me out right now

Oil filler is right behind the alternator should say oil on the top of the cap. Goes into the passenger side valve cover.
